Coinbase bleibt auf dem US-Markt: CEO bestätigt
- Brian Armstrong, CEO von Coinbase, sagte, dass seine Krypto-Börse den US-Markt nicht verlassen werde.
- Während einer Fintech-Veranstaltung im April sagte er, dass seine Börse erwäge, ihren Hauptsitz nach London zu verlegen.
- He said that leaving the US was “not even in the realm of possibility right now,” and there was no “break glass plan.”
- Die Börse hat außerdem einen Antrag auf Abweisung der von der SEC eingereichten Klage vor Gericht gestellt.
Der CEO von Coinbase, der größten Krypto-Börse in den Vereinigten Staaten, Brian Armstrong, hat bestätigt, dass sein Unternehmen weiterhin dem amerikanischen Markt verpflichtet bleiben wird, nachdem er kürzlich gemischte Signale zu seinen Plänen für das Unternehmen in den USA gegeben hatte. Darüber hinaus hat die regulatorische Sicherheit im Kryptosektor in den USA in den letzten Monaten viele Unternehmen aus dem Land verdrängt.
In einem (n Interview with the Financial Times earlier this week, on August 4, the Coinbase founder stated that his crypto exchange was “staying in the United States,” although other companies plan to leave or have already ended operations in the region due to regulatory lawsuits looming over crypto offerings in the region.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sued multiple crypto firms in the past few months, including the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, and Armstrong’s Coinbase. As reported earlier by Bitnation, the regulator claims that both crypto exchanges operated as unregistered securities trading platforms in the US without the SEC’s consent.
Darüber hinaus erklärte der Chief Legal Officer von Coinbase, Paul Grewal, in einem Gewinnmitteilung vom 3. August für das zweite Quartal 2023 that his company has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the SEC and believes that the exchange will win the court’s approval. “With respect to the litigation with the SEC, I want to be very clear. We do think we can win. We expect to win,” he noted.
The Coinbase CEO stated in the interview that leaving the US was “not even in the realm of possibility right now,” and there was no “break glass plan”—likely referring to what the exchange would do in the event of an emergency.
However, back in April, during a fintech event in London, Armstrong said that his crypto exchange might consider moving its headquarters to the United Kingdom because of the ‘regulation by enforcement’ policy of the SEC.
