Could you elaborate on whether Coinbase actively petitioned the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to clarify which of its offerings constitute securities? The reason I'm inquiring is that the cryptocurrency industry has been under increasing scrutiny from regulators globally, and I'm curious if Coinbase is taking proactive steps to ensure compliance. Understanding whether Coinbase sought clarity from the SEC on this matter would provide valuable insight into the company's regulatory strategy and its approach to ensuring investors are adequately protected. Thank you for your consideration in addressing this query.
