In a dramatic turn of events that could only be scripted by the hands of Fate herself, on this fateful day of February 27, 2025, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in a proverbial twist of irony, has waved its white flag, officially dismissing its lawsuit against Coinbase. Ah, the sweet pangs of irony! Just days prior, the crypto exchange, perhaps in a moment of delirious optimism, announced an agreement to put this legal debacle to rest on February 21. Such timing, such audacity!
With the grace of a bear tapping a dancer on the shoulder, the SEC has chosen to rid itself of all litigation ties to Coinbase, and do so with prejudice—just for good measure! This, mind you, includes a hasty retreat from both the somewhat theatrical lawsuit and the request for an interlocutory appeal with the US Court of Appeals, as declared in their official filing on this very date.
In their own words, the SEC has alluded to a noble goal, stating that “the dismissal will facilitate the Commission’s ongoing efforts to reform and renew its regulatory approach to the crypto industry.” A noble undertaking indeed, but one can only wonder if they had first consulted the oracle of Delphi on this matter!
This entire saga began when the SEC, under the leadership of the ever-mysterious Gary Gensler, decided that it would be their grand duty to levy charges against Coinbase back in June 2023. It was a relentless barrage, an attempt to frame a multitude of crypto entities as either unregistered securities brokers or, heaven forbid, securities in their own right—how delightful! The pressure was palpable, one could almost taste the desperation! 😂
Since the inauguration of that controversial President—yes, the one who owes us an explanation—on the fateful day of January 20, the SEC had established its Crypto Task Force, led by none other than SEC commissioner Hester Peirce, perhaps hoping to sprinkle some fairy dust on the new regulatory landscape.
Yet, as the curtains close on this chapter, the SEC’s whimsical decision to abandon the Coinbase lawsuit echoes the earlier dismissals involving Consensus, Robinhood, Gemini, and the ever-elusive Uniswap just this week. How delightful is the dance of justice—or is it merely the dance of regulation? 😉
This is but a developing story, a tale still being spun, and as we know, the end is often just a new beginning!
