According to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, the SEC requested the exchange to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies except bitcoin before filing a lawsuit against the platform in June.“We really didn’t have a choice at that point. Delisting every asset other than bitcoin, which, by the way, is not what the law says, would have essentially meant the end of the crypto industry in the US,” said Armstrong.
