In a formal, 73-page response to the SEC probe that was released on Thursday afternoon, the attorneys for Coinbase were even more forthright in their statements. In the brief, the attorneys from Sullivan & Cromwell who represent Coinbase argued that the commission’s case against Coinbase “will fail as a matter of fact and law.”

The incident comes on the heels of a new video dropped by SEC Chief Gary Gensler where he warns U.S. customers of the risks associated with crypto platforms. Coinbase filed a petition with a federal court earlier this week in an effort to compel the SEC to state whether or not it intends to develop new regulations for digital assets. Lately, the financial watchdog has made a concerted effort to address what it views as lack of compliance on the part of cryptocurrency platforms and their intermediaries.
