SEC Files Lawsuit Against Coinbase for Alleged Regulatory Violations

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has initiated legal action against Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency platform in the US. The lawsuit alleges that Coinbase operated without proper registration as an exchange, a requirement under US securities laws. This legal move follows closely on the heels of a similar lawsuit filed by the SEC against Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, and its founder, Changpeng Zhao.

The actions are part of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s broader strategy to establish regulatory control over cryptocurrency markets and enhance investor protection. Gensler has previously described the crypto sector as a largely unregulated “wild West,” posing risks to the broader capital markets and investor trust.

Coinbase, in response to the lawsuit, expressed its commitment to compliance. Paul Grewal, the company’s general counsel, stated that Coinbase would continue its operations and emphasized the company’s history of compliance adherence.

The SEC’s complaint, filed in the federal court of Manhattan, asserts that Coinbase has been operating as an intermediary in cryptocurrency transactions since 2019. The SEC claims that Coinbase traded at least 13 crypto assets that are considered securities and should have been registered accordingly. These assets include popular tokens like Solana, Cardano, and Polygon.

Coinbase Global Inc, the parent company of Coinbase, experienced a significant drop in its share value following the lawsuit. Additionally, data from Nansen, a data firm, revealed that customers withdrew over $57 million from Coinbase shortly after the lawsuit was filed.

The lawsuit also scrutinizes Coinbase’s staking rewards program, which the SEC argues is an unregistered security. This program, serving approximately 3.5 million customers, involves pooling crypto assets to support blockchain network activities in exchange for rewards. The SEC is seeking civil penalties, the return of any illicit gains, and injunctive relief to prevent future violations.

Ten US states, led by California, have joined in accusing Coinbase of securities law violations, particularly concerning its staking rewards program. These states include Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, South Carolina, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. New Jersey has imposed a $5 million fine on Coinbase for selling unregistered securities.

The SEC’s enforcement chief, Gurbir Grewal, emphasized the importance of adhering to regulatory rules, stating that ignoring them is not an option. This lawsuit marks a significant step in the SEC’s ongoing efforts to bring clarity and regulatory compliance to the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.
