Court Denies Coinbase Motion

On March 27, a federal court in Manhattan denied  Coinbase’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the SEC for the operation of an unregistered exchange and offering trading services around unregistered securities. The effect of the decision means the case will proceed to trial with Coinbase having an opportunity to receive delivery from the financial regulator. 

Some experts suggest that the reason behind the spike of Base tokens is due to the issue on Coinbase Wallet dropped by the court. Despite this, the rest of the case will proceed to trial with both parties appearing confident.
