Coinbase reaches agreement with SEC to dismiss enforcement lawsuit with prejudice
Coinbase Global, Inc.
- Coinbase and SEC Staff reached agreement in principle on Feb 21, 2025 to dismiss the SEC enforcement lawsuit with prejudice, subject to Commissioner approval.
- The lawsuit, filed June 2023, alleged Coinbase operated as unregistered exchange, broker, clearing agency and offered unregistered securities via staking.
- Coinbase had previously sought interlocutory appeal after partial denial of judgment on pleadings in March 2024.
- Dismissal with prejudice means the SEC cannot refile the same claims based on the same conduct.
