Coinbase sues the SEC for answer on rule specific to digital assets

The U.S. crypto giant is taking the markets regulatory agency to court in order to force the SEC to respond to a petition that the company filed back in July 2022, aiming for a rule specific to digital assets.

The suit filed by Coinbase is a writ of mandamus, a type of lawsuit for "exceptional circumstances" in which a court can force federal officials to act.

And to add to the fun, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest purchased nearly $8.6 million of Coinbase stock yesterday, the same day of the filing. Not sure if this is betting on a win, or purely accidental.

XRP Lawsuit: The SEC Underestimated Ripple, Asserts Law Professor — Here’s Why

Why?

“I don’t think they saw that coming, and I think they probably expected there would be a settlement, and I think they underestimated the fight inside of Brad,” Verret said on Thursday when asked about his opinion as to why the SEC picked the fight with Ripple.

He also said he expects whatever outcome to be appealed up to SCOTUS.

The real relationships between Coinbase and Blackrock would be interesting - then how those intersect with the agencies.
We assume this is a real fight, but Coinbase have been given time and warning to relocate their... base.

why?

“We’re always going to have a US presence … But the US is a little bit behind right now.”

erm... that's not the same as a HQ in USA.

As if all the regulatory issues were not enough, Coinbase goes all woketard - with the expected backlash.
