Engelmayer noted that Coinbase\u2019s structure, where customers only engage with the platform, indicated that the exchange could be considered a seller in these transactions. In response, Coinbase insists it doesn\u2019t list securities, claiming the ruling only narrows the case\u2019s scope.<\/p>\n<p>This lawsuit is just one of several legal challenges Coinbase is facing. The company has been locked in a dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since June 2023, with the regulator accusing it of operating an unregistered securities exchange. Coinbase is also seeking to have cryptocurrency trades exempt from being classified as securities.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/coinbase-expands-its-token-offerings-with-new-altcoins-on-evaluation-roadmap\/\" title=\"Coinbase Expands Its Token Offerings with New Altcoins on Evaluation Roadmap\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/coinbase-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Coinbase Expands Its Token Offerings with New Altcoins on Evaluation Roadmap<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, the exchange has taken legal action against both the SEC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), claiming they are trying to block crypto firms from accessing banking services and failing to comply with transparency laws.
