Coinbase has responded to the Wells Notice issued by the SEC, stating that the SEC has not provided clear guidance to crypto companies and has not complied with the law by providing a way to register. The company is prepared to defend itself in court but has called for dialogue instead of enforcement. Coinbase has also taken action against the SEC in the form of a federal court filing to respond to a pending rulemaking petition filed in July 2022, asking for overdue guidance for the crypto industry. The firm was granted a regulatory license to operate from the Bermuda Monetary Authority and has hinted at a possible move offshore if America's war on crypto intensifies.
