Coinbase Plans To Go Against SEC
Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO in a tweet highlighted a special meeting with the US SEC. He stated that the crypto exchange we’ll continue to push for a clear rule book in the U.S. for crypto firms. This development comes in when the financial regulator severed the crypto exchange with a “Wells notice” regarding listing of several digital assets, staking and wallet services.
Armstrong added that the U.S. can’t afford to lose this chance to update the financial system. However, it is important for regulators to set policy right and then move to enforce it. He added that this is the apt point where congress needs to step in.
The meeting between Coinbase boss and the commission comes after his recent summit with some members of congress. Coingape reported Armstrong stated that the SEC has caused untold harm to the nation with its policies. He intended that the crypto industry needs to fight back.
