However, the judge did not entirely side with the SEC\u2019s allegation that Coinbase operated as an unregistered broker through its proprietary crypto wallet service. Nevertheless, the decision means that the lawsuit will proceed to trial.<\/p>\n<p>According to the court order, <em>\u201cThe court finds the SEC has sufficiently pleaded that Coinbase operates as an exchange, as a broker, and as a clearing agency under the federal securities laws, and through its Staking Program engages in the unregistered offer and sale of securities.\u201d<\/em> Judge Failla elaborated on the ruling, stating that the SEC\u2019s claims about Coinbase acting as an unregistered intermediary of securities were well-supported by the allegations in the complaint.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Coinbase\u2019s Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The company\u2019s thanks was sent by Coinbase\u2019s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, to the court for acknowledging the complexity of technological advancements such as Coinbase Wallet. Such developments shouldn\u2019t unintentionally be subject to US securities regulations, Grewal said. Declaring that \u201cclarity is the ultimate goal and today\u2019s decision continues us on that path,\u201d he recognized the regular denial of early motions against government bodies such as the SEC but emphasized the need of pursuing clarity in legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Both Coinbase and the SEC are preparing for what looks to be a carefully watched trial with potential ramifications for the whole bitcoin sector as the legal struggle continues.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
