On Friday, a Coinbase executive declared the “war against crypto” over—”at least as it applies to Coinbase.”
According to Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to drop its lawsuit against the largest US cryptocurrency exchange, as the agency shifts to embrace Donald Trump’s new approach to regulating cryptocurrency in the US.
The SEC sued Coinbase in 2023, accusing Coinbase of “operating its crypto asset trading platform as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency” and “failing to register the offer and sale of its crypto asset staking-as-a-service program.”
