“We are not going to end our staking service. Again, the way these court cases play out, it really is just business,” Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told the Bloomberg Invest Conference, according to CoinDesk.
He noted that the program brings in approximately 3% of the total net income of the exchange.
Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal in an interview The Block said the company has not yet made decisions to delist any assets. According to him, the exchange adds cryptocurrencies to the platform after careful analysis and is confident in its choice.
“We believe that we are not just dealing with a legitimate business, but an extremely positive and productive business. Therefore, until we are convinced that everything we do is a violation of the law, we will continue to conduct business as usual, ”Grewal emphasized.
Armstrong dismissed concerns about the company’s financial strength in the event of a mass withdrawal of assets by investors.
“All funds are provided one to one. As a public company we have auditors, […] who checked everything,” he assured.
Recall that Grewal called the SEC’s approach to regulating the cryptocurrency industry “undermining US competitiveness.”
