CFTC Sends Subpoena to Cryptocurrency Exchange Coinbase – Here’s Why

Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States, has been served a subpoena by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requesting customer data related to its Polymarket prediction market, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. The subpoena, unsealed today, seeks “public customer information” tied to Polymarket, a blockchain-based prediction platform that has been gaining traction ahead of the November election.

At the time, Polymarket spokespeople claimed the raid was “political retribution.” Bloomberg News later reported that the Justice Department was investigating. In response to the subpoena, Coinbase stated its commitment to protecting user data while complying with legal requirements. “Requests for information from a government are carefully reviewed by a team of trained experts,” a Coinbase spokesperson said. “In some cases, if a request is legally insufficient, the firm will object to producing information or attempt to narrow the request. However, in some cases, we may be required by law to share necessary data that is lawfully requested by a government.” *This is not investment advice.
