Grewal highlighted that over the last 9 months, US SEC and Coinbase had met more than 30 times. These meetings involved the crypto exchange’s path to registration. He claims that the commission hasn’t provided any feedback or policy over what to change or how to register.

Attorney John Deaton, Amicus Curie in the XRP lawsuit presented a scenario where Coinbase has “Fair Notice Defense 2.0” on its side. While Supreme Court Justice in Bittner vs U.S. discussed how a defendant must get a fair warning for their conduct. He added that the outrage may cause the commissioners not to get 3 votes, however, he assumes that it is 3-2 right now.
