Latest situation in SEC-Coinbase case
cryptocoin.com As we reported, the SEC sued Coinbase a day after Binance on similar grounds. The U.S. regulator accused Coinbase of operating an unregistered exchange, broker, and clearing agent because it “combines orders for securities from multiple buyers and sellers using built-in, non-optional methods with which such orders interact.”
The SEC also claimed that Coinbase offers unregistered securities to customers by offering them a staking-as-a-service staking program where Coinbase pools all types of customer stapable crypto assets, staking the pool to perform Blockchain transaction verification services.
In the latest developments from the case, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, pointed to the 2024 elections in the USA. At a conference in New York on Thursday, he said the election could bring more regulatory clarity.
“Obviously, the 2024 election is also a factor here,” Armstrong said. Being anti-crypto isn’t politically popular right now. We will potentially see a change in the administration, the parties or the SEC chairman.” says.
