In distinct, in the over listing, there are three coins in the listing of 52 tokens declared by the SEC as securities:
The explanation for the short-term suspension of trading offered by the exchange is to “improve the overall health of the market and consolidate liquidity”. It also stated that Coinbase Advanced Trade end users in eligible areas (but did not specify which areas) can even now trade these assets for USD or USDC trading pairs.
Another explanation could be for the reason that Coinbase is wanting to improve the use of USDC, the stablecoin launched by the exchange in partnership with Circle.
Coinbase’s announcement to temporarily suspend assistance for a big variety of trading pairs reminds the investment local community of a equivalent incident that occurred in the previous with “rival” Binance.US – announced in June 2023. announced the delisting of 102 spot trading pairs, just two days following getting sued by the US Securities Commission (SEC).
After Binance, the significant US cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, was sued by the SEC for violating US securities rules associated to trading and staking pursuits. Due to these allegations, the SEC also asked Coinbase to halt trading all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin!
This is fully steady with the SEC Chairman’s inherent see that: “only Bitcoin is not a security”, and the remaining coins are all securities.
