Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer of <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/huobi-cryptocurrency-exchange-changes-its-name-to-htx/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, stated that the information received from the FDIC regarding the cease and desist letters sent to financial institutions as part of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 has clarified the situation.

Grewal added that the FDIC began to share documents related to the cease and desist letters sent to financial institutions in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. He commented, “The situation is gradually but surely becoming clearer. After filing the lawsuit, the FDIC started responding to our FOIA request regarding the cease and desist letters sent to financial institutions as part of Operation Chokepoint 2.0. The contents are a disgraceful example…”
He expressed that the content of the letters indicates a government agency aimed at obstructing American companies that seek legal avenues for access to funding.

In the past week, Coinbase submitted a series of FOIA requests to the FDIC to eliminate regulatory uncertainties. This move is seen as part of the company’s quest for clear guidance from the U.S. government regarding the regulation of digital assets.
The goal of the request was to obtain documents related to any restrictions the FDIC might impose on the amount of digital assets held by American deposit institutions.
In June, Coinbase filed a lawsuit against the SEC and FDIC for the first time, compelling the disclosure of documents related to investigations into the <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/mastercard-integrates-account-opening-api-with-alchemy-pay/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"></a><a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/osl-anticipates-launch-of-spot-bitcoin-etfs-in-hong-kong-by-end-of-april/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> market. These lawsuits are viewed as the next step in Coinbase’s battle with the SEC.
Grewal noted that the FDIC exerting pressure on financial institutions to completely abandon crypto-related activities is an additional complicating factor. Coinbase Global Inc continues to maintain its stance against the SEC’s enforcement-based regulatory strategies and recently submitted an Amicus Brief on behalf of the DeFi Education Fund and Beba.
These developments underline the critical importance of regulatory transparency and clarity in the cryptocurrency industry. Coinbase’s efforts may serve as a significant example for other companies in the sector.
