There has been a constant back-and-forth struggle between the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the largest crypto exchange in the US, Coinbase. The company claims that the regulator is taking an “enforcement-first” approach to regulation without clear guidelines and a regulatory framework. On the other hand, the SEC has yet to respond to a July 2022 petition by the crypto exchange seeking regulatory clarity for crypto assets. 

Coinbase hat eine eingereicht Klage vor Gericht in a United States federal court in an attempt to “force” the SEC to respond to the petition that was submitted by the crypto exchange in July 2022 following the onset of the crypto market collapse and the bankruptcies of many crypto-focused companies. Interestingly, the regulator has yet to acknowledge this petition. 

Im Petition filed in 2022, Coinbase condemned the SEC’s “enforcement-first” move towards crypto regulation without putting proper guidelines in place for companies to follow. Furthermore, the company seeks a “yes or no” response to a July 2022 petition wherein the exchange asked the regulator over 50 questions, all related to the regulation of digital assets.

Die Fragen sind breit gefächert und decken eine Reihe von Themen ab. Coinbase hat der Krypto-Börse verschiedene Fragen gestellt, einschließlich der Methodik, die sie verwendet, um Krypto-Assets als Wertpapiere zu kategorisieren, zusammen mit dem Vorhandensein von Anforderungen, die für Krypto-Unternehmen technisch nicht möglich sind, um sie in ihren Unternehmen umzusetzen. 

Coinbase stated in the petition that it believes that “appropriately tailored regulation is essential to encouraging capital formation in the digital asset industry, protecting digital asset customers and investors, and facilitating the wider adoption of digital asset technology,” while adding:

“We do not currently trade or facilitate trading in digital asset securities because of a lack of clear and workable regulation. But we would consider doing so through our SEC-registered securities broker-dealer subsidiaries once rules are in place that can accommodate the technological manner in which digital asset securities would be offered, sold, traded, custodied, and cleared.”

The court action from Coinbase was accompanied by a blog post authored by the company’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, who stated that the Administrative Procedure Act requires the SEC to respond to the exchange’s rulemaking petition “within a reasonable time.”

According to the Coinbase executive, more than 1,700 firms and corporate entities have submitted comments to exchange’s petition “echoing the request for clarity” from the SEC. Meanwhile, the regulator has doubled its crypto enforcement unit in attempts to crack down on several crypto companies.

“If the SEC says no to our rulemaking petition, which it has the right to do, then Coinbase would be allowed to challenge that decision in court and explain in that formal setting why rulemaking is required,” Grewal noted.

Grewal erklärte, dass Coinbase seinen Kampf mit den Regulierungsbehörden fortsetzen werde, bis die Kryptoindustrie die Klarheit bekommt, die sie verdient. Wichtig ist hier zu erwähnen, dass die von CEO Brian Armstrong geleitete Krypto-Börse die einzige öffentliche Krypto-Börse in den USA ist und laut jüngsten Berichten den Umzug in die USA plant. 

Kürzlich kündigte auch die Krypto-Börse Gemini ihre Pläne an, sich außerhalb der USA zu bewegen und sich auf andere Regionen der Welt, einschließlich Asien, zu konzentrieren. Das Unternehmen ein Büro in Gurgaon, Indien, gegründet und plant, auch Talente aus dem Land einzustellen.
