Coinbase sues Oregon governor, demands disclosure of public records on crypto regulatory changes

Odaily News Coinbase filed a lawsuit in the Marion County Circuit Court in Oregon, suing Governor Tina Kotek, demanding that she disclose public records related to the sudden change in crypto asset regulatory policy. Coinbase pointed out that the Oregon government suddenly changed its long-term policy position in April 2025 and sued Coinbase without public participation, claiming that 31 digital asset transactions on its platform were regulated securities transactions.
Coinbase emphasized that the policy change affects hundreds of thousands of digital asset holders and traders in Oregon, but the entire process lacks public discussion or rule-making procedures. The company said that the lawsuit is not aimed at the state attorney generals allegations against Coinbase itself, but rather revolves around whether the state government violated public records laws and failed to disclose the information behind its new regulatory stance in accordance with the law.
