The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission doubled down on its “extensive efforts” so far to produce documents in discovery for Coinbase Inc. and argued in a motion before a federal district court in Manhattan that the additional “burden of fishing through and logging over three million more documents cannot be justified.”

Daniel Maland, a partner at Rennert Vogel Mandler & Rodriguez and the Florida Bar chair of crypto and blockchain education, said the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York’s anticipated decisions in this discovery dispute will “certainly impact the drafting of discovery towards the SEC on a go-forward basis.” Maland is not involved in the case.
