Coinbase to Leave the US?

The Futurum Group's Steven Dickens writes about the latest developments from Coinbase and their ongoing challenges with regulators. Coinbase has received a Wells notice from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A Wells notice is an indication that the regulator is thinking of taking action against an individual or firm. In response, Coinbase said it welcomed the legal process and that it believes regulations are necessary to protect consumers. The exchange's confidence in the legality of its assets and services is a position that has not been shared by all. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler recently outlined the agency's priorities in regulating the cryptocurrency industry, including exchanges, stablecoins and decentralized finance platforms.
