On September 17th, as reported by The Block, Paul Grewal, Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice. In the letter, he requested that federal regulators give priority to addressing state-level regulations that conflict with national crypto policies and establish a unified regulatory framework. Although the SEC dropped its charges against Coinbase, Oregon has filed a lawsuit against the exchange, claiming that it encouraged the sale of unregistered crypto assets.
