A demonstration that the company's business models were, at the very least, scrutinized at the time. The CEO of Coinbase also noted that there is no way to &#8220;come in and register,&#8221; as the SEC frequently claims it did to industry participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this basis, the CEO of Coinbase stated that the company has repeatedly attempted to engage with the regulator and does not list securities. It has indicated that it receives many applications, but only a few assets are listed on its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ceo-of-coinbase-on-regulatory-disparities\">The CEO of Coinbase on Regulatory Disparities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Armstrong highlights the widespread confusion between the primary market regulators, the SEC and the CFTC, regarding the definition of securities. This confusion has permeated the market, as both regulators have designated one asset differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He argued that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/economy\/why-congress-is-intervening-in-a-labor-dispute-between-railway-companies-and-freight-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">US Congress is intervening to rectify<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> the situation due to divergent viewpoints.
