Çështja e Tregtisë së Brendshme të Coinbase u mbyll: Ish-menaxheri dhe vëllai zgjidhin akuzat me SEC
Komisioni i Sigurimeve dhe Shkëmbimit (SEC) ka njoftoi that former Coinbase product manager Ishan Wahi and his brother, Nikhil Wahi, have settled insider trading charges. The SEC alleged that Ishan Wahi helped coordinate Coinbase’s public listing announcements, which included information about the crypto assets that would be available for trading.
Despite being warned not to trade based on this confidential information, Ishan repeatedly tipped off his brother and a friend, Sameer Ramani, about the timing and content of upcoming listing announcements. Ahead of these announcements, Nikhil Wahi and Ramani allegedly purchased at least 25 crypto assets, nine of which were securities, and sold them shortly after the announcements for a profit.

According to the SEC’s announcement, as part of the settlement, both Ishan and Nikhil have agreed to be permanently enjoined from violating the Securities Exchange Act and Rule. They will pay disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest. Moreover, The SEC has determined not to seek civil penalties in light of the Wahi brothers’ prison sentences.
Përveç akuzave të KSHZ-së, Ishan dhe Nikhil janë deklaruar fajtor to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a criminal action. Ishan has been sentenced to 24 months in prison and ordered to forfeit 10.97 ether and 9,440 Tether, while Nikhil has been sentenced to 10 months and ordered to forfeit $892,500.
Furthermore, in a statement, The SEC’s enforcement director Gurbir S. Grewal, emphasized that the federal securities laws do not exempt crypto asset securities from the prohibition against insider trading. He also expressed gratitude to the SEC staff for successfully resolving the matter:
While the technologies at issue in this case may be new, the conduct is not. We allege that Ishan and Nikhil Wahi, respectively, tipped and traded securities based on material nonpublic information, and that’s insider trading, pure and simple

The petition alleges that the SEC has unreasonably delayed responding to Coinbase’s rulemaking petition and has decided not to engage in the process requested by Coinbase.
The SEC has not denied that its delay in responding to Coinbase’s petition would be unreasonable and that mandamus would be warranted if the agency has determined not to engage in the rulemaking process. However, the SEC contends it is still actively considering its regulatory approaches.
Për më tepër, Coinbase argumenton se SEC nuk ka ndërmend të angazhohet në krijimin e rregullave të kërkuara nga Coinbase, siç dëshmohet nga deklaratat publike të bëra nga kryetari i SEC, Gary Gensler. Pozicioni i Coinbase është se deklaratat e përsëritura dhe të qarta të Kryetarit në lidhje me planet e bërjes së rregullave të Komisionit tregojnë përfundimisht se SEC nuk ka ndërmend të angazhohet në krijimin e rregullave të kërkuara nga Coinbase.
SEC është përballur me kritika për mungesën e qartësisë dhe komunikimit në lidhje me rregulloret në industrinë e kriptomonedhave. Në këtë rast, Coinbase argumenton se dështimi i SEC për të shpallur rregulla që do t'i mundësonin industrisë të njihte standardet e SEC për të përcaktuar nëse asetet dixhitale mund të jenë letra me vlerë ose të ofrojnë një rrugë të zbatueshme për t'u regjistruar kur kërkohet, e ka vënë industrinë në një "Catch-22 “.
