According to a report by Crypto In America reporter Eleanor Terrett on the X platform, sources close to the Trump administration revealed that the White House is considering completely withdrawing its support for the cryptocurrency market structure bill if Coinbase does not return to the negotiating table to reach a revenue agreement that satisfies banks and facilitate a final agreement. The sources stated that the White House is angered by Coinbase's unilateral action on Wednesday, calling it a "sudden change of heart" for the White House and the entire industry without prior notice.
