Coinbase, the U.S.s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, disclosed in a blog post that the SEC issued a Wells notice, meaning it may pursue enforcement action, and opened a formal investigation.
Were being threatened with legal action before a single bit of actual guidance has been given to the industry, Armstrong wrote on Twitter. Regulation by litigation should be the last resort for the SEC, not the first.
The issue centers on Coinbases product called Lend, which the company has marketed as a high-yield alternative to traditional savings accounts that could earn an annual yield of 4%. The product hasnt been launched yet, but Coinbase encouraged customers in June to sign up for pre-enrollment.
The question of whether DeFi lending pools qualify as securities is shaping up as a key legal battleground for the SEC. Part of it turns on whether such set-ups meet the definition of investment contracts as established in the Supreme Courts 1946 Howey decision, which defined such contracts as the investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others.
