On Tuesday, Coinbase’s price fell sharply on breaking news that the Securities and Exchange Commission had filed a lawsuit over its staking program — the latest stage in an ongoing legal spat between the U.S. crypto exchange and the top American securities regulator.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong spoke about the lawsuit and the exchange’s relationship with the SEC this morning during an appearance on CNBC.

«This isn’t good for America,» Armstrong told the outlet. «It’s not good for the industry, obviously. And we now need to get clarity from the courts.»
