# Coinbase takes another formal step to seek regulatory clarity from SEC for the crypto industry - Host: [coinbase.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/coinbase.com/) - Saved: April 24, 2023 (2023-04-25T03:11:09Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/14a44dd60c35/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/14a44dd60c35.json ## What Jamie wrote Wether Coinbase and Brian Armstrong want the role or not, I do think they are uniquely positioned to lead the legal framework around crypto. I think this filing is a good one, as I suspect there is an active strategy to not provide guidance to harm the crypto industry. Now, with all that said I don't envy the path. As I've spent three years deeply exploring Ethereum, my best answer to "is it a security?" or whatever is "none of the above". I think the best approach at the moment is to acknowledge that crypto is something new, and needs a specific framework for it. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT252: Weekly Thing #252 / Elevator, Evidence, Everything](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/252/), Notable ## Saved the same week - [Manton Reece - Why Micro.blog is supporting Bluesky now](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0d8059b9416e/) (manton.org, April 24, 2023) - [Generative AI at Work - Marginal REVOLUTION](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5373ce7b9521/) (marginalrevolution.com, April 26, 2023) - [Coin Metrics’ State of the Network: Issue 204](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2d36f018826e/) (coinmetrics.substack.com, April 26, 2023) - [The Average Screen Time and Usage by Country - ElectronicsHub](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1bdb92268280/) (electronicshub.org, April 26, 2023) - [The Many Hats of Product Managers – rajiv.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/16ce77b82512/) (rajiv.com, April 26, 2023) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.coinbase.com/blog/coinbase-takes-another-formal-step-to-seek-regulatory-clarity-from-sec-for
