Coinbase awaits SEC approval

After making its entry into Japan, Coinbase is now on track to become a US-regulated blockchain securities trading venue. They announced early on May 7th about their progress on the path to operate a regulated broker-dealer, pending approval by federal authorities.

They tweeted about listing SEC-regulated crypto securities:

“Today we’re excited to announce that we’re on track to become a US-regulated blockchain securities trading venue. We believe this is an important moment not only for Coinbase, but the entire crypto ecosystem.”

Once they get the approval, Coinbase will soon be able to offer securities based on blockchain under the oversight of the US Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] along with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority [FINRA]. This step ahead is accredited to their acquisition of a broker-deal license [B-D], an alternative trading system license [ATS], and a registered investment advisor [RIA] license. Their acquisition of Keystone Capital Corp., Venovate Marketplace, Inc., and Digital Wealth is the key point that has enabled all of this for them.
