Coinbase has become the largest validator for Tezos (XTZ)

Concerns for Tezos (XTZ) come not only from the community but also from significant exchanges. After announcing staking support for XTZ in November 2019, the Coinbase exchange dig into the Tezos network, becoming the largest validator for XTZ.

Coinbase is one of 80 companies that spent a total of $ 42 million to lobby for Blockchain and cryptocurrency policies in Washington, D.C, in the first quarter of 2019.
