Coinbase is getting legal. First, they’ve filed an amicus brief in support of Grayscale Investments against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It’s their glitch. They should own it. If the platform gets its pricing right, they won’t lose money. On another note, if they do sue and win, it will set a scary precedent. Anyone with a wallet could then sue anyone with a wallet just for sending crypto to the wrong address. How long would it take for this to clog up court dockets?
