The SEC advised Coinbase to halt trading in altcoins
Overnight, multiple news media reported that according to Brian Armstrong, Coinbase's CEO, the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) advised the platform to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies except for Bitcoin before initiating a lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit, filed last month, accuses Coinbase of failing to comply with the current regulation that requires it to register as a broker in order to facilitate the trading of securities. The SEC’s decision to file a lawsuit against the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world could potentially set a precedent with far-reaching effects on the broader crypto market. Imposing a restriction on Coinbase to offer only Bitcoin could significantly shrink the investment and trading options available to its vast user base. Furthermore, it would probably result in massive sell-offs and a general state of market turbulence. While this large crypto crackdown would likely prove destructive to many altcoins, Bitcoin could benefit from it in the long term. Therefore, this case is something that we will very closely monitor going forward.
