The crypto giant concluded an agreement with the SEC staff to reject the trial against them. And the best part? No fines, no penalties and no change in the way they do business.
“Once approved by the Commission (which we said to be expected next week), it would be a complete dismissal, with $ 0 in paid fines and zero modification to our company,” said Armstrong. This marks a major victory for Coinbase, which was in a legal battle with the dry on how cryptographic companies should be regulated.
Coinbase victory could report a change in cryptographic regulation
For months, Coinbase was locked in a legal showdown with the dry. The regulator had accused the company of offering unregistered titles, an assertion that Coinbase has denyed greatly. Now, with this agreement, it seems that the case will soon be in history.
This decision is not only a relief for Coinbase but also the larger cryptography industry. Many companies have felt the heat of regulators, wondering if they would be the next on the blockage. If the SEC commissioners reject the case next week, this could point out a change in the way regulators treat cryptographic companies in the United States

But this is not the end.
This is the beginning.

(@Coinbase) Usually when companies settle with regulators, they have to pay heavy fines or accept new restrictions. Not this time. Coinbase moves away without Scot, keeping his business model intact. It is a rare result in a fight with the dry.
For the cryptography industry, this could be a sign that regulators begin to rethink their approach. Certain legislators and leaders of the industry argue that regulators should not apply obsolete financial rules to digital assets in the same way as traditional shares and obligations.
