VD:n för Coinbase, den största kryptobörsen i USA, Brian Armstrong, har bekräftat att hans företag kommer att förbli engagerat på den amerikanska marknaden efter att nyligen ha gett blandade signaler om sina planer för företaget i USA. Dessutom har regleringssäkerheten i kryptosektorn i USA drivit många företag utanför landet under de senaste månaderna. 

I en intervju 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. 

Vidare uppgav chefsjuristen på Coinbase, Paul Grewal, i en Resultatet den 3 augusti beräknas för andra kvartalet 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.
