COINBASE SEEKS COURT RULING FOR SEC DOCUMENTS ON HOW SECURITIES LAWS APPLY IN
ONGOING FOIA CASE

QUICK TAKE

 * Coinbase on Tuesday asked the U.S. District Court for the District of
   Columbia if it could file a motion for partial summary judgment.
 * Coinbase previously sued the SEC for not complying with FOIA requests.



Crypto exchange Coinbase is asking a court to make a ruling in a move to get
documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about how securities
laws apply to crypto.

Coinbase, through a retained consultant firm History Associates Inc., asked the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia if it could file a motion for
partial summary judgment on Tuesday. This comes after Coinbase sued the SEC and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in June for not complying with its
Freedom of Information Act request. FOIA requests, made under the Freedom of
Information Act, allow the public to ask for records from any federal agency.

Coinbase is looking for external and internal communications about the SEC's
investigations about whether something is a security or not, specifically ether.
Whether ether is a security or not has become a sticking point for the industry.

Blockchain software firm Consensys raised the issue in a lawsuit it lodged
against the SEC in April and said the former SEC's Director of the Division of
Enforcement, Gurbir Grewal, approved the investigation into "Ethereum 2.0" in
March 2023 to investigate individuals and entities buying and selling ether. The
firm later said the SEC said it was closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.

The SEC has also brought a number of enforcement actions against crypto
platforms and projects over the past year. The agency sued Coinbase in a
separate case last year for operating its platform without registering.

The SEC has been firm in refusing to produce documents the exchange asked for
and claimed at first that the agency was exempt from FOIA, but recently said
that may not be true, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said in an
interview with The Block.

Now the SEC says it will take three years to produce the documents Coinbase
wants, according to Tuesday's filing.

"Yet instead of promptly producing responsive documents, the SEC now insists it
must start over and re-review the documents for other potential reasons to
withhold them that it apparently never considered—and it will not even begin
that repeat review for three years," History Associates said in the complaint.

Coinbase had also said it asked for documents on two now-closed investigations,
one involving Zachary Coburn and another for Enigma MPC. The firm asked for
"records… reflecting or concerning any investigation" involving the two. Enigma
MPC is a data encryption startup that settled with the SEC in 2020 after the
agency said tokens offered by the firm were securities, thereby violating
securities laws. In the other case, Coburn created an online platform for
trading crypto called Ether Delta, which the SEC said met the definition of an
exchange and should have been registered. Coburn settled with the SEC in 2018.

Next, the judge will decide whether Coinbase can file a motion for the partial
summary judgment. After, the SEC will respond. If the court allows Coinbase to
file a motion for partial summary judgment, Grewal said he would be surprised if
the judge issues a ruling before the end of the year.

Coinbase and History Associates also sent FOIA requests to the FDIC regarding
the agency's "pause letters."  The FDIC began issuing "pause letters" between
March 2022 and May 2023 to some financial institutions asking them to not expand
crypto-related activities and to provide more information, according to a 2023
report from FDIC's Office of Inspector General. That office is tasked with
evaluating the FDIC.

Coinbase previously said in its complaint that the letters were part of a new
incoming "Operation Choke Point 2.0."

A SEC spokesperson said the agency declined to comment beyond its public
filings. 

Update: Oct. 15, 5:40 p.m. UTC to include the SEC declined to comment
