Regulators: “You can’t do that, it’s illegal.” Crypto: “It’s really frustrating that you don’t give us clear guidance on these things.” “No, seriously, that’s illegal.” “You can’t give us a hint even?” “Please, just stop.” “We’ll take that as maybe for now, but this sucks.”

Coinbase approached the SEC about offering a 4% yield product. They received no clarity. Instead they received the threat of litigation. Meanwhile, Celsius, Voyager and BlockFi were allowed to offer 10%+ interest products while gambling with user funds. Good job, Gary.

Coinbase’s lawyers told Armstrong what was legal. He was presumably frustrated competitors were taking risks he couldn’t and w/ no consequences. He made a stink. If you believe he was confused, I have a bridge to sell you. I agree w him lack of enforcement is frustrating tho.
