Known by many in the industry for filing records requests with the US government over crypto policies, Coinbase has filed a lawsuit against Oregon state officials. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has filed for injunctive relief in the US state of Oregon related to claims that its officials “flip-flopped on digital assets behind closed doors.” In a case filed Thursday in the Marion County Circuit Court, Coinbase’s lawsuit named Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in her official capacity. The complaint reportedly challenged how the state government handled requests for documents related to digital asset enforcement actions.  According to Coinbase, prior to April 2025, state officials had largely not considered digital assets to be regulated as securities. However, Oregon’s Attorney General’s office then filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, alleging the exchange offered more than 30 tokens as unregistered securities. Read more

The Coinbase executive says he is “speculating on straws,” but if it is true, it would be “by far the largest heist in human history.” Conor Grogan, Coinbase’s head of product, says there’s a slight chance the $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin moved on Thursday — from eight wallets that had held the Bitcoin for over 14 years — was caused by a hack, and if so, it could be the largest robbery ever. “If true (again, I’m speculating on straws here), this would be by far the largest heist in human history,” Grogan said in an X post on Friday, after raising the slim chance that the $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) moved from eight separate wallets was the work of bad actors. “There is a small possibility that the $8B in BTC that recently woke up were hacked or compromised private keys,” Grogan said, pointing out a suspicious Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transaction made before the significant transfers on Thursday involving 10,000 Bitcoin at a time.

A lower court ruling will stand in a case involving a Coinbase user who filed a lawsuit against the IRS after the crypto exchange turned over transaction data.

The case stemmed from the IRS compelling Coinbase to turn over data from certain users in a “John Doe” summons, resulting in Harper filing a lawsuit against the federal tax collection agency in 2020. Harper’s initial complaint alleged that the IRS and its officials conducted an “unlawful search and seizure of [his] private financial information,” in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution.
