Coinbase is a public company on NASDAQ. They are about as registered with the SEC, as possible.
Update: cause I'm getting downvotes. See below. The point that I'm making is that if this company is acting illegally, then why is it still trading?
Let me direct you to this:

The whole point here is that Coinbase is acting in good faith by trying to do things "the right way"... including becoming a public company and trying to register in whatever compliance ways they can. All the way to announcing that they will go to court over all of this. All because their existing efforts haven't worked.
Update: the discussion is happening right now around how coinbase is a public company that is being declared that it is doing illegal things. If so, then why is it still trading?

Is your position that no publicly traded company has ever done anything illegal?
That is not even close to correct. NASDAQ itself is a publicly traded company (quote: NDAQ), that nonetheless has to register separately as a securities exchange.
