Coinbase Opposes SEC's Expansion of Exchange Definition to Include DEXs

Paul Grewal, Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, recently announced the filing of a comment letter by Coinbase opposing the SEC's proposal to broaden the definition of an exchange. Grewal expressed concerns about the SEC's insufficient consideration of the impact this proposal would have on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). He believes that expanding the definition of an exchange to include DEXs would have negative consequences for numerous crypto users in the US. Grewal urged the SEC to reconsider the proposed rule and make necessary revisions.
