Coinbase Accuses U.S. SEC, FDIC of Improperly Blocking Document Requests on ETH

“We asked the SEC for documents about closed investigations to shed light on how the SEC views its newfound, sweeping (and unlawful) authority,” Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “One of those investigations, which only recently closed, focused on ETH, which the SEC publicly announced is not a security in 2018. And the other investigations have been closed for years. But the SEC stonewalled our requests.”
