Coinbase permanecerá en el mercado de EE. UU.: CEO confirma
- El CEO de Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, dijo que su criptointercambio no abandonará el mercado estadounidense.
- Durante un evento fintech en abril, dijo que su intercambio está considerando trasladar su sede a Londres.
- He said that leaving the US was “not even in the realm of possibility right now,” and there was no “break glass plan.”
- El intercambio también ha presentado una moción para que la demanda presentada por la SEC sea desestimada en el tribunal.
El director ejecutivo de Coinbase, el mayor criptointercambio de Estados Unidos, Brian Armstrong, ha confirmado que su empresa seguirá comprometida con el mercado estadounidense después de dar recientemente señales contradictorias sobre sus planes para la empresa en Estados Unidos. Además, la certeza regulatoria en el sector de las criptomonedas en los EE. UU. ha empujado a muchas empresas fuera del país en los últimos meses.
en un entrevista 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.
Además, el Director Legal de Coinbase, Paul Grewal, declaró en un 3 de agosto convocatoria de resultados del segundo trimestre de 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.
