US SEC threatens to sue Coinbase over some crypto products, serves notice for action
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has threatened to sue Coinbase Global Inc over some of the crypto exchange's products, turning up the heat on the largely unregulated sector. Shares of Coinbase dropped nearly 13 per cent to $67.33 in extended trading after the company said on Wednesday that the regulator had issued it a Wells notice — a formal declaration that SEC staff intend to recommend an enforcement action.
