After a protracted silence and vague responses from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, cryptocurrency company Coinbase filed an official request in federal court on Saturday.
“We couldn’t wait until our deadline next week to address the SEC’s response to the June 6 order from the Third Circuit,” tweeted Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer for Coinbase. “It is unusual for the government to defy a direct question from a federal court.”
“The SEC’s evasive response goes further, as we set out today,” he added.
