Coinbase’s motion to drop the SEC’s case against the exchange was denied in court, allowing the regulator to proceed with its lawsuit.
A United States court has denied Coinbase’s motion to dismiss the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against the exchange.

The SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023, saying the crypto exchange violated federal securities laws by listing 13 tokens it alleged were securities. The firm was seeking an order to drop the case, questioning the SEC’s authority over crypto exchanges.
