Great to see U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission confirm what Coinbase 🛡️ & others have long known: Staking as a Service is NOT a security. Begs the question: will the 5 states with staking lawsuits continue in the face of such clear guidance from the fed securities regulator? Let's hope reason prevails.

NJ crypto owners have missed out on ~$12M since the state effectively banned Coinbase 🛡️ staking in 2023. Tonight’s rally is a chance to make your voice heard about the damage this ban has caused, alongside legends @bigsean and DANI MOON. coinbase.com/blog/High-Stak…

A win not just for Coinbase 🛡️ - but for users and the industry. We will always fight to protect our standards and our customers.

More sunlight ➡️more transparency ➡️ more accountability ➡️ less likely to recur. Coinbase 🛡️ won’t stop fighting for its customers and the industry.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Great to have Congressman William Timmons joining Coinbase 🛡️’s fight for transparency.

Always fun to hang out with DJ PG. paulgrewal.eth
