American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase received undisclosed documents from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as part of its investigation into Operation Chokepoint 2.0.

Obtaining Documents from FDIC

Coinbase managed to obtain documents from the FDIC thanks to a court order. These previously undisclosed documents are now available for public review. According to Coinbase's General Counsel Paul Grewal, the documents highlight coordinated efforts to block cryptocurrency transactions.

Contents of the Documents

The documents, released following a judge's order, shed light on FDIC's actions. They describe a coordinated attempt to restrict cryptocurrency transactions, ranging from basic Bitcoin operations to more complex offerings.

We ultimately received the undisclosed OCP 2.0 letters from the FDIC. A court order was required, but you can now read them for yourself. These letters demonstrate a coordinated effort to halt a broad spectrum of cryptocurrency activities.Paul Grewal

Legal Developments and Future Steps

According to Grewal, the documents detail measures undertaken under FDIC's supervision to minimize the impact of cryptocurrencies. Sharing this information aims to improve understanding of the regulatory pressures the cryptocurrency sector faces. The public release of these documents provides significant transparency and may clarify future regulations.

The publication of FDIC documents represents an important step towards transparency in the cryptocurrency sector and may influence future industry regulations.
