In March, the company resolved claims by the CFTC for falsifying trading activity data between January 2015 and September 2018. The fine was $ 6.5 million. At that time, observers called this the main reason for the transfer of the direct listing to April.
Ahead of the historic event, Coinbase has hired former senior SEC official Brett Redfern and former top executive at investment bank Morgan Stanley Ian Rooney.
