SEC Sues Coinbase This Time Too
After the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Binance on Monday, it announced on Tuesday that a lawsuit was filed against Coinbase. The SEC has sent a warning notice to Coinbase in recent months and yesterday’s lawsuit was filed because Coinbase violated securities laws.

The highlight of the case was the list of coins considered as securities in the lawsuit, just like in the Binance case. Some of these coins were SOL, ADA, MATIC, FIL, SAND, AXS, CHZ, FLOW.
