Kraken vs US SEC
In Feb 2023, the Kraken exchange received a legal notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Through the notice, the SEC confirmed that the agency charged the Kraken Exchange over crypto staking services in the US. The SEC body alleged that Kraken’s crypto staking services were against federal securities law.
Later Kraken blindly decided to settle the case and paid $30 million & terminated crypto staking services to the US Crypto Investors.
After SEC’s enforcement action over Kraken’s Crypto staking services, this agency again took action against the US based Nasdaq- listed crypto exchange Coinbase.
To this date, Coinbase is still waiting to see the future legal action by the SEC agency because the Coinbase team is confident with its services.
Coinbase executives confirmed that its team reached out to the SEC agency over the exchange’s nature of crypto services & listed crypto assets but no SEC official responded.
