A U.S. district court has ruled in favor of Coinbase in its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) dispute with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The judge criticized the FDIC for its excessive redactions in the release of the so-called 'Pause Letters,' stating that the agency acted in bad faith. The court ordered the FDIC to provide more thoughtful redactions, with a deadline set for January 3, 2024. Judge Ana Reyes expressed concern over the FDIC's lack of good faith in its redaction process, highlighting the need for transparency in communications regarding the crypto industry. This ruling marks a significant victory for Coinbase as it continues to advocate for clearer regulations in the cryptocurrency sector.
