In a statement to crypto.news, Coinbase denies leaving the Indian market in September.
Following reports in the local newspaper Economic Times, Coinbase has been contacted by crypto.news to address rumors of its departure from the Indian market. Coinbase has clarified that it is not ceasing operations in India. Instead, the company conducted a system review and identified some Indian accounts that did not meet their updated standards. As a result, these accounts will be disabled, but affected customers will have the opportunity to update their details in the future. Coinbase assures users that their funds are safe and they can still withdraw or send to other crypto services until September 25. The platform emphasizes its commitment to maintaining high standards for the Indian crypto community.
Coinbase’s legal issues
Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the US, is currently facing legal challenges. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Coinbase of various failures that have deprived investors of essential protections. The SEC alleges that Coinbase has bypassed critical oversight, leading to concerns about fraud, market manipulation, and inadequate information disclosure. Coinbase’s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, is calling for legislative clarity and fair rules to realize the full potential of the cryptocurrency industry. Coinbase has presented defenses in response to the SEC’s complaint, including due process violation and arguments that the SEC’s case falls outside its authority. Additionally, Coinbase is also facing a $5 million lawsuit from a customer and accusations of being a hub for insider trading by Australian financial researchers.
