Coinbase Answers SEC Charges
It was a development that shook the cryptocurrency community, as two of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world have been charged by the United States regulatory agency. Moreover, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to the SEC complaint today.
In a tweet published by Armstrong, he noted a host of facts regarding the charges filed today. Indeed, Armstrong noted that “the SEC reviewed our business and allowed us to become a public company in 2021.” Additionally, Armstrong stated that the company “tried, repeatedly, to register securities. Yet, because “there is no path to ‘come in and register,” they simply reject most of the assets they review.
Then, Armstrong discussed “conflicted statements” made by the SEC and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Armstrong noted that congressional intervention was necessary. Specifically, remarking that Congress is “introducing new legislation to fix the situation.”
Armstrong has clearly displayed confidence in the crypto exchange’s current position. Ultimately stating that they will “get the job done.” In the end, the legal proceedings, in this case, should have a tremendous impact on the digital asset landscape in America.
