It's been a fun stat sometimes, but it means nothing. If anything it overstates the importance of so many illiquid ahem unregistered securities.

It is so political and boring. I mean its subtle but its political and its boring and it sucks.
So if they only made millions it would be ok? The only reason coinbase has made billions is because you didnt act until now
Coinbase has been BEGGING for clarifiation for years. But SEC refuses to give any guidelines what so ever for staking and what not. But this SEC goon try to make it seem as if thats not the case. I mean as much as i dislike altcoins and what not, the dishonest and frankly corrupt political bureaucracy is way worse

Everybody running exchanges like Coinbase - had from the beginning the knowledge, that listing coins with premine is more risky than listing coins without premine.
But greed was bigger than fear, it seems...

But what are they supposed to do. One exchange does it, SEC says nothing, and since its popular among traders other exchanges have to follow suit or lose users

I still don't get it how people would park 'money' on a start-up platform like Binance or BlockFi for hunting some bps of interest. There's literally zero economical education in the overwhelming majority of households to make this possible. Get them poor girls and guys to SN... put them under the cold shower of DarthCoin...

Bitcoin is not the only green-lighted by the SEC, almost sure the SEC is not allowed to touch Ethereum.

An emboldened SEC can come after bitcoin just the same, on made up bs. They gave cb the green light and reversed course. You could see them start calling btc a security even though they recognize it as a commodity today.

No idea. I will say this, I have very mixed feelings about the price of bitcoin going down. It's cheaper to buy, so I'm happy, but it's also kind of like rooting against your kid's softball team so that's a bit awkward. It also makes it really hard to orange pill people because they're like "didn't the price just crash?" People only want to buy when the price is up.

They will just leave the US, and that's prolly what they want. Coinbase should switch to BTC only and become one of the last on-ramp businesses for BTC. Just my opinion.

This is fine. SEC needs something to do and this is the hill they chose. And they think there's billions in fines to levy. BTC wins. Shitcoins die. Godspeed.
