CoinVoice has recently learned that Coinbase has filed a lawsuit in the Marion County Circuit Court of Oregon against Governor Tina Kotek, demanding the disclosure of public records related to the sudden change in cryptocurrency asset regulatory policy.
Coinbase pointed out that the Oregon state government suddenly changed its long-term policy stance in April 2025, suing Coinbase without public participation, claiming that the trading of 31 digital assets on its platform constitutes regulated securities trading.
Coinbase emphasized that this policy change affects hundreds of thousands of digital asset holders and traders in Oregon, but the entire process lacked public discussion or rule-making procedures. The company stated that this lawsuit is not aimed at the allegations made by the state attorney general against Coinbase itself, but rather concerning whether the state government violated public records laws by failing to disclose information behind its new regulatory stance.
