🟠COINBASE ATTACCA SEC E FDIC
Giorno: 27 giugno 2024 | Ora : 18:55 Coinbase, una piattaforma di scambio di criptovalute, ha intentato cause legali contro la SEC e la FDIC, accusando le agenzie di eccessiva regolamentazione e mancata risposta alle richieste di informazioni. Coinbase sostiene che la SEC nasconda i suoi metodi regolatori dietro pretesti di privacy e critica la FDIC per aver consigliato alle banche di limitare i servizi legati alle criptovalute. Coinbase ha anche chiesto alla SEC delle linee guida chiare sulle regolamentazioni specifiche per le criptovalute.
Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform, has filed legal action against the SEC and FDIC, accusing the agencies of excessive regulation and failure to respond to information requests. Coinbase argues that the SEC hides its regulatory methods behind privacy pretexts and criticizes the FDIC for advising banks to limit services related to cryptocurrencies. Coinbase has also requested clear guidelines from the SEC on specific regulations for cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has filed lawsuits against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on Thursday, alleging unfair targeting and opaque practices. The legal challenges, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, accuse the agencies of overregulation and failing to respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The exchange’s legal action seeks to counter what it views as a concerted effort by the SEC and FDIC to undermine the cryptocurrency sector by restricting access to banking services and withholding information. Coinbase has criticized the SEC for using privacy claims to conceal its regulatory methods, particularly concerning Ethereum’s proof-of-stake transition and other crypto entities. The FDIC is similarly under fire for advising banks to halt the expansion of crypto-related services through “pause letters,” a tactic Coinbase likens to the controversial “Operation Choke Point.” Coinbase’s dispute with the SEC also includes a previous lawsuit from April 2023, where the exchange demanded a definitive stance on crypto-specific regulations. Despite discussions since July 2022, the SEC has yet to provide clear guidelines, opting to enforce existing securities laws that Coinbase argues are ill-suited for cryptocurrencies.
