Buckle up, crypto fam! Last June, the U.S. government pulled off a regulatory hat trick that would make a magician blush. 🎩✨ First, the SEC slapped Coinbase with chargеs for operating as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. Then, they doubled down on the accusation, highlighting Coinbase’s crypto staking service as equally illicit. But wait, there’s a twist! 🤯
Uncle Sam, in all his wisdom, then turned around and made Coinbase his Bitcoin banker! Yes, you read that right. The same company accused of raking in billions through “unlawful” activities is now trusted with safeguarding the government’s own crypto trove. 💰

This is like your parents grounding you for sneaking out, then asking you to babysit уour younger siblings. Makеs total sense, right? 🤷♂️
So, what’s the deal? Is this the government’s way of saying, “We hate the game, not the player?” Or is it a strategic power play, using Coinbase’s expertise while maintaining a tough regulatory stance? 🤔
