The SEC responded to a court order on how it was currently looking at the rulemaking petition in light of the agency's enforcement action against Coinbase, which the regulator sued last Tuesday on allegations it was operating an unregistered securities exchange, broker and clearing agency.
Though Coinbase has argued that the SEC has decided to reject the petition, the SEC said Tuesday that it hadn't made a decision one way or another, though agency staff think they will make a recommendation within 120 days. Until and unless the SEC decides to propose new rules, Coinbase still has to abide by current law, the regulator added in discussing its current enforcement action.
"Regardless of whether the Commission determines to undertake the rulemaking sought by Coinbase, a decision the Commission has yet to make, Coinbase – like everyone else – is bound by existing law," the SEC filing said."And Coinbase is free to vigorously assert its position that it has not violated that law in the current enforcement action.
