Coinbase Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Paul Grewal has commended the Department of Energy (DoE) for its swift rectification in response to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Bitcoin (BTC) mining survey controversy. The EIA recently announced its decision to discontinue the emergency acquisition of energy use data from Bitcoin miners. 
<h2 id="coinbase-clo-commends-doe-for-rectifying-its-mistakes">Coinbase CLO Commends DoE For Rectifying Its Mistakes</h2> 
Quoting Senator Cynthia Lummis’ remarks on the case, Grewal wrote, “It’s clear that the DoE violated the law. It admits its mistake, addresses the harm imposed, and commits to doing things the right way in the future. It doesn’t dig in to avoid embarrassment. It’s not that hard.” 
The <a href="https://coingape.com/coinbase-outage-100-bln-wiped-off-in-bitcoin-market-cap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinbase</a> CLO’s statement seems to be indirectly directed toward the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The reason could be his disappointment toward the regulatory agency as he believes they refrain from accepting their alleged wrongdoings and pester the crypto industry participants instead. 
Furthermore, in his remarks, Grewal praised Senator Cynthia Lummis for her advocacy on the <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-us-energy-department-halts-bitcoin-mining-survey-amid-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EIA Bitcoin mining survey</a> fiasco. Moreover, the Coinbase CLO emphasized the importance of a reasonable regulator admitting mistakes, addressing harms imposed, and committing to future compliance.

The withdrawal of the crypto mining usage survey by the DoE marks a significant victory for the entire crypto community. Moreover, it mitigates concerns regarding government overreach and unfair targeting of Bitcoin and the overall crypto industry by the Biden administration. Furthermore, the Coinbase CLO’s remarks highlight a positive shift towards regulatory transparency and accountability within the crypto space. 
The mutual understanding reached between the parties to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172776308/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172776308.24.0.pdf" target="_blank">litigation</a> mandates the destruction of any information already received by the EIA and the cessation of the survey. According to the agreement, the EIA will publish a new notice on the <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-crash-key-reasons-behind-btc-retreat-after-rallying-to-64k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> survey, enabling public comments. This move promotes transparency and accountability in the regulatory process. 
In addition, the Coinbase CLO’s commendation of the DoE’s swift rectification reflects a growing sentiment within the crypto community towards constructive engagement with regulatory authorities. However, several crypto stakeholders are still engaged in a legal battle against the SEC, which could reshape the regulatory domain.
