Coinbase is pushing for a court order to compel the SEC to release crucial documents related to its litigation against the crypto exchange.
The request includes records about the SEC’s review of Coinbase’s public offering and statements from SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
Coinbase’s legal chief, Paul Grewal, argues that these documents are vital for defending against the SEC’s claims and for understanding the regulator’s stance on cryptocurrency regulations.
The SEC has met with industry stakeholders and made public statements before filing the lawsuit, and Coinbase believes these records are crucial.
The SEC has refused to produce these documents, citing concerns over relevance and the burden of the request. Coinbase is asking the court to mandate a preliminary search and logging of relevant materials.
Despite the legal tussle, Coinbase’s stock has surged by 112% in the past six months and 64% year-to-date. Recent positive court rulings have boosted investor confidence.
