Coinbase, unfazed by the ongoing legal challenges posed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, remains committed to improving its services for cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Despite the regulatory challenges, the well-known cryptocurrency exchange has taken a significant step toward catering to more sophisticated traders with the introduction of Coinbase Advanced, a specialized trading platform.
Coinbase Advanced now allows traders to earn “up to 4% rewards on the USDC they hold on Coinbase or any USDC used in open orders.”
The company has announced a slew of enhancements to Coinbase.com, its primary trading platform, including 237 new USDC trading pairs.
Coinbase Highlights Yield Potential
While banks have long been regarded as go-to destinations for individuals looking for a safe and stable way to grow their savings, the exchange’s entry into the realm of high-yield offerings marks a paradigm shift in the potential for generating significant returns.
Coinbase challenges the status quo by offering a 4% yield on USDC holdings, providing an alternative avenue for individuals to increase their investment growth.
Unlike traditional banks, which typically offer modest APYs ranging from 0.01% to 0.50% on savings accounts, the company’s 4% yield far outperforms these offerings.
Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, has built a reputation for strong security, regulatory compliance, and user-friendly interfaces.
Crypto Exchange Reaffirms Position on Cryptocurrencies
In its ongoing response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s securities claims, the company has asserted once more that cryptocurrencies should not be classified as investment contracts and, thus, should not be considered securities.
While the exchange has previously stated this position in public statements, a recent filing delves deeper into the company’s position, providing additional clarification.
According to Coinbase, the cryptocurrencies available on its secondary market platform are not subject to any arrangements in which a promoter sells an asset tied to a contract, citing the Supreme Court’s precedent-setting Howey case.
Coinbase’s filing is a firm and well-reasoned defense of its position, with the goal of drawing a clear line between cryptocurrencies and traditional securities.
The company emphasizes that the characteristics of cryptocurrencies, particularly those traded on its platform, do not correspond to those typically associated with securities.
