Just one day after launching a slew of charges against Binance, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a 101-page lawsuit against Coinbase – America’s largest cryptocurrency exchange
- Similar to Binance, the agency alleged that Coinbase has failed to register as either a broker, national securities exchange, or clearing agency, despite serving the functions of all three
- It also accused Coinbase of violating securities laws by making assets available for trade on its exchange that passed the Howey Test – despite paying “lip service” to the desire to be legally compliant
- The agency named large-cap crypto assets including SOL, ADA, and MATIC among those securities
- “Coinbase has elevated its interest in increasing its profits over investors’ interests, and over compliance with the law and the regulatory framework that governs the securities markets,” stated the commission.
- Furthermore, the SEC said Coinbase failed to register its staking-as-a-service product, thereby “depriving investors of material information about the program.” Coinbase anticipated such a lawsuit months ago, but stood by its claim that staking products are not securities
- As relief, the SEC wants Coinbase to “disgorge their ill-gotten gains and to pay prejudgment interest thereon.”
