Coinbase vs SEC
In Q1 2023, the majority of the top crypto exchanges faced legal hurdles with the US regulatory bodies. In particular, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated several enforcement actions against top regulated crypto exchanges over crypto staking services.
So far, the SEC body failed to impose any regulatory action against the Coinbase exchange but already sent a Wells notice over crypto staking services & nature of some crypto assets trading on the exchange. So here we can say that the SEC body may initiate charges against the Coinbase exchange.
