Coinbase achieved a partial legal victory as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that the SEC's rejection of its 2022 petition for clearer crypto regulations was "arbitrary and capricious." The court ordered the SEC to provide a more detailed justification for its decision but did not require the creation of new rules for digital assets. This ruling highlights ongoing scrutiny of the SEC's enforcement-heavy approach, which has faced criticism for lacking clear regulatory guidelines in the rapidly evolving crypto industry. In a related case, Gemini Trust Company LLC was fined $5 million for misleading the CFTC, underscoring the regulatory pressures on crypto firms. The ruling also coincides with anticipated changes in SEC leadership, which may lead to a more favorable stance towards digital assets.

The court found them liable for false claims about assets and trading performance, leading to penalties including restitution to defrauded customers and a civil penalty. The ruling permanently bars them from CFTC registration and trading in regulated markets.
