Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the United States, was recently sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission along with the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, and its US entity, Binance.US and CEO Changpeng Zhao. The entire crypto community is talking about this series of legal actions taken by the US securities regulator. 

De CEO van Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, reageerde snel op de situatie en zei dat hij en zijn bedrijf klaar zijn om de SEC voor de rechtbank te dagen. In een na on the social media platform Twitter, Armstrong stated that this action taken by the agency will finally result in “some clarity around crypto rules” in court. It is important to mention here that the crypto exchange was the first to be publicly listed on the NASDAQ.

Zoals eerder gemeld door Bitnation, de SEC klaagde Coinbase in juni aan 6, waarin wordt beweerd dat het cryptobedrijf actief is geweest als effectenbeurs, verrekenkantoor en makelaar-dealer zonder zijn diensten bij de toezichthouder te registreren. Het bureau verklaarde in de rechtszaak dat ongeveer 13 cryptocurrencies die door de beurs worden verkocht, door iit als tecurities worden beschouwd, waaronder Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) en Filecoin (FIL). 

Armstrong added that the lawsuit filed against his company is very “different from others out there,” as it is “exclusively focused on what is or is not a security.”  

The Coinbase executive stated that his team is “confident in our facts and the law” while claiming that the US government cannot agree with itself as to which blockchain-based digital asset is a security. He also referred to the SEC and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) making conflicting statements regarding the status of ether (ETH) as a security or a commodity. 

Armstrong added that he hopes that the lawsuit filed by the SEC against his firm will finally result in clear crypto compliance in the United States. He noted that his company’s previous efforts to get registered with the SEC and comply with its policies failed. 

“Instead of publishing a clear rule book, the SEC has taken a regulation by enforcement approach that is harming America. So if we need to avail ourselves of the courts to get clarity, so be it,” Armstrong noted.
