Coinbase Files FOIA To Reveal Cost Of SEC’s Crypto Lawsuits

Coinbase has filed a FOIA request against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), riding on the highs of the dismissal of its case against the securities regulator. A glance at the document reveals that the US-based crypto exchange is seeking a raft of information on the SEC’s expenditure in its crypto war. Coinbase Wants Full Disclosure Of SEC Spending In Its Enforcement Actions US-based crypto exchange Coinbase is seeking information on SEC’s spending in its war against major entities in the cryptoverse. Coinbase has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request against the securities regulator to obtain information on the fiscal handling of its crypto lawsuits. According to the document, the exchange is seeking information between April 2021 and January 2025 on the Commission’s spending. Coinbase’s request spans the total annual expenditures for digital asset investigations and enforcement actions against the industry. Coinbase is also seeking information on the number of SEC full-time staff and details of their compensation packages. Furthermore, the FOIA request wants similar information on third-party contractors including their working hours and compensation packages. Of particular concern is the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit with Coinbase’s filing requesting the annual budget of the unit and compensation of its staff. Several cases initiated by the unit have been dismissed with the latest being Kraken’s case dismissal with prejudice. “The previous SEC spent four years attacking a lawful industry, and American taxpayers were left holding the bill,” said Coinbase in a statement. “How much did you end up paying? We intend to find out.” Several High-Level Crypto Lawsuits Will Drive The Bill Up Following the filing of the FOIA request, the cryptoverse scans the horizon for the release of figures by the SEC. The SEC has nine possible defenses in the form of exceptions to the FOIA like internal personnel rules among others. The release of the figures could run into millions of dollars, accentuated by a streak of high-profile crypto lawsuits. During the period under review, the SEC dragged Coinbase, Ripple Labs, Gemini, and Binance to court over alleged breaches of capital market rules. The SEC case dismissal against Coinbase has triggered a wave of similar actions for affected entities. The dismissals are in sharp contrast to the heightened enforcement actions by the Gary Gensler-led agency. SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce has criticized regulation by enforcement previously deployed by the SEC while hailing its new forward-thinking approach.
