Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paulgrewal.eth posted on the X platform that both Chevron and Binance secondary sales issues were clear, but in the Coinbase lawsuit, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) blocked Coinbase's request to expose Gary Gensler communications. In March 2021, Gary Gensler told the U.S. Congress that the SEC lacked regulatory authority over digital asset exchanges, confirming the long-held view of market participants that digital asset transactions traded on these exchanges do not fall under the jurisdiction of securities laws. Coinbase has requested documents from Gary Gensler regarding these communications as they relate to revealing how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the Constitution's due process requirements, but the SEC and Gary Gensler have tried to prevent these documents from coming to light.
