Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel has suggested that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be awaiting a ruling in the Ripple lawsuit before taking legal action against Coinbase. Fagel noted that it typically takes 30-60 days after a Wells submission is received for an enforcement action to be filed, and the submission was made around April 19. The SEC had issued a Wells Notice to Coinbase in March, alleging violations of federal securities laws. Ripple has been in a legal battle with the SEC for over two years, with a summary judgment decision expected imminently.
