COINBASE CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER - STRONGLY BELIEVE SEC INVESTIGATION SHOULD NOT CONTINUE, REMAIN COMMITTED TO WORKING TO BRING THE MATTER TO A CLOSE
Coinbase Global Inc.'s Chief Legal Officer stated that the ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation is a remnant from the previous administration. The inquiry pertains to a user metric that Coinbase ceased reporting approximately two and a half years ago. This metric, referred to as the "verified users" metric, included anyone who had verified their email address or phone number with Coinbase.
