Coinbase has filed a lawsuit against Oregon state officials in the Marion County Circuit Court, alleging that they have changed their stance on the regulation of digital assets without transparent communication. The lawsuit targets Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and claims that the state government has not adequately responded to requests for documents regarding digital asset enforcement. Before April 2025, state officials reportedly viewed digital assets as not regulated as securities, but this changed when the Attorney General's office accused Coinbase of offering unregistered securities based on that classification. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal criticized Oregon officials for failing to provide requested records, which include over 80,000 emails and could take over a year to process. This legal action reflects Coinbase's ongoing efforts to promote transparency in government actions regarding digital assets and could impact the state's approach to cryptocurrency regulation in the future.
