Coinbase must face US securities regulator’s lawsuit, says judge

The SEC sued Coinbase in June, saying the firm facilitated trading of at least 13 crypto tokens that should have been registered as securities and was operating illegally as a national securities exchange, broker and clearing agency without registering with the regulator. Failla allowed most of the lawsuit to proceed, but dismissed the SEC’s claim that Coinbase acted as an unregistered broker via its wallet application.
