Coinbase files lawsuit against the SEC following denial of transparent crypto regulation
Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the agency rejected its request for a clear and transparent regulatory framework for crypto assets.
The lawsuit, filed on December 15 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claims that the SEC has violated Coinbase’s constitutional rights to due process and equal protection by arbitrarily and capriciously denying its petition for rulemaking, which was submitted in July 2021.
The petition asked the SEC to adopt a set of rules that would provide clarity and certainty for the crypto industry, as well as protect investors and promote innovation. The petition argued that the current regulatory environment is vague, inconsistent and unpredictable, creating confusion and uncertainty for both crypto businesses and consumers.
The petition also proposed a set of principles that could guide the SEC’s rulemaking process, such as recognizing the inherent differences between crypto assets and traditional securities, applying a functional approach that focuses on the economic realities of each crypto asset, and fostering a collaborative and cooperative relationship with the crypto industry.
However, the SEC denied the petition in November 2021, stating that it did not meet the criteria for rulemaking and that it was not in the public interest. The SEC also asserted that it has sufficient authority and guidance to regulate crypto assets under existing laws and regulations.
Coinbase’s lawsuit challenges the SEC’s denial as arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and contrary to law. The lawsuit also alleges that the SEC has failed to provide a rational explanation for its decision, ignored relevant facts and evidence, and violated Coinbase’s constitutional rights.
Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong said in a blog post that the lawsuit is a “last resort” after exhausting all other options to engage with the SEC. He said that Coinbase is not seeking any special treatment or exemption from the SEC, but rather a fair and transparent regulatory framework that applies equally to all crypto businesses.
“We believe that everyone deserves access to a fair and open financial system, and that crypto is a powerful force for good in the world. We also believe that regulation is essential to protect investors and ensure market integrity.
But regulation must be clear, consistent and predictable. It must also be developed through a transparent and participatory process that respects the rule of law and the rights of all stakeholders,” Armstrong wrote.
He added that Coinbase hopes to resolve the dispute with the SEC through dialogue and cooperation, but that it is prepared to defend its position in court if necessary.
“We are confident that we have a strong legal case and that we will prevail in this lawsuit. We are also hopeful that this lawsuit will ultimately benefit not only Coinbase, but the entire crypto industry and its millions of users,” he concluded.
