Coinbase situation. On June 6, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against the exchange for offering unregistered securities. The regulator also argued that the platform has never registered as a broker, national securities exchange, or clearing agency.
The exchange’s CEO Brian Armstrong expressed confidence that Coinbase would win the case in court and emphasized that the platform has more than $5 billion in its balance sheet to support ongoing operations and to cover legal costs.
At the same time, documents published by the SEC show that exactly one day before filing a lawsuit, Armstrong sold 29 730 shares of the company.
