Coinbase and the U.S. securities regulator faced off in a federal appeals court in Philadelphia on Monday as the cryptocurrency exchange presses the agency to create new rules for digital assets. Coinbase,

The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals will on Monday hear Coinbase's arguments against the Securities and Exchange's (SEC) denial of its petition to propose new rules for cryptocurrency regulation.

The SEC’s reasons for denying a Coinbase Inc. petition for rules governing the cryptocurrency industry were “sparse” and “pretty close to vacuous,” a Third Circuit judge told an attorney for the agency at oral argument Monday.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. urged a federal appeals court to force the US Securities and Exchange Commission to create new rules that would govern digital assets and help end a long legal fight between the industry and regulators.

Coinbase Global (COIN) asks an appeals court to overturn SEC's denial of its petition for new crypto rules, saying the current framework is 'impossible.'

Judges in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals had tough questions for the Securities and Exchange Commission today in the lawsuit where the crypto exchange Coinbase has demanded new rulemaking for the blockchain industry.

Coinbase collided with the SEC Monday as the crypto exchange giant continues to push the Wall Street regulator for crypto-centric rulemaking, which the Commission has refused.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has questioned the SEC’s refusal to provide clear guidelines for the crypto industry. Coinbase had asked the SEC in July 2022 to create rules for securities offered and traded digitally.
