<p class="is-style-lead">Crypto exchange Coinbase will support tokens and services named in the securities case, despite the recent charges filed by the US SEC. </p>



<p>The SEC identified at least <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-sues-coinbase-just-hours-after-binance/">13 cryptocurrencies listed </a>on Coinbase, including solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/solana/">SOL</a>), сardano (ADA), зolygon (MATIC), and filecoin (FIL), as well as the company&#8217;s staking service, as securities or investment contracts.</p>



<p>In a June 7 <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/06/07/coinbase-crypto-tokens-sec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview </a>with Axios, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the exchange has &#8220;no plans to delist any of these assets&#8221; and will continue operating &#8220;business as usual&#8221; until a court determination is made.</p>



<p>While Coinbase&#8217;s executives aim to assure users that the current status quo will be maintained, it&#8217;s worth noting that the exchange has made delisting decisions in the past. Notably, Coinbase halted trading of XRP in 2021 due to the SEC&#8217;s case against Ripple.</p>

<p>The exchange also delisted Binance&#8217;s BUSD and removed Algorand from its staking options during regulatory concerns. However, the reasons behind those delistings may have only a tangential connection to regulatory events. Furthermore, Coinbase discontinued its Lend program in response to legal threats from the SEC last year.</p>

<p>Although Coinbase remains steadfast in its commitment to avoid delistings, its competitor Binance.US, facing its own SEC charges, has already <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-us-pauses-otc-trading-removes-numerous-trading-pairs/">announced plans</a> to delist several trading pairs and pause over-the-counter (OTC) trading. It&#8217;s important to note that these delistings do not extend to Binance.com, the global arm of the company.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, one of the crypto projects named in the SEC&#8217;s case, Cardano developer Input Output, is striving to demonstrate that its<a href="https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2023/06/07/iog-response-to-the-recent-sec-filings/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=KKeHmxhdhz18Gwg__7nSjdHNztf2JDnTmj0jM2kHwcg-1686219898-0-gaNycGzNDBA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ADA token </a>should not be considered a security, contrary to the allegations made in the SEC lawsuit.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>As the legal battle between Coinbase and the SEC unfolds, the exchange&#8217;s stance on not delisting tokens under scrutiny showcases its determination to support a wide range of cryptocurrencies.</p>



<p>Coinbase&#8217;s CEO and team remain focused on navigating the regulatory landscape while continuing to provide services to its user base.</p>
