In a recent letter to a district court judge, Coinbase argued that the SEC Chair’s private communications are an “appropriate source of discovery” crucial to mounting a reasonable defense.
United States crypto exchange Coinbase has continued to seek access to Gary Gensler’s personal communications, arguing they’re an “appropriate source of discovery” in its ongoing battle with the financial regulator.
Coinbase first requested Gensler produce personal communications in April, arguing it was relevant to its case. This includes any documents concerning crypto beginning from 2017.
The Securities and Exchange Commission sought to block Coinbase’s request in a June 28 letter to District Court Judge Katherine Failla, saying it “rejected this position and proposal.”
