The U.S. SEC has requested a four-month extension on the fact discovery deadline for its case against Coinbase, pushing it to February 2024. This delay has sparked speculation, especially as the SEC faces challenges in the crypto space. Coinbase has agreed to the extension. The timing of the delay, just after the presidential elections, has raised eyebrows. Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, has shared updates on the company's legal battle with the SEC, including a FOIA suit against the FDIC and hints at controversial regulatory actions. The lawsuit delay comes amid growing political tension over crypto regulations, with Democrat leaders criticizing crypto legislation and Republican Representative Richie Torres challenging the SEC's stance. The stage is set for major developments in the coming months.
