One of the CoinBase's long term goals is to become the #1 staking provider. Staking platforms deploy the staked crypto to help verify transactions and boost blockchain security.

This week, the popular cryptocurrency exchange confirmed that its listing process and staking programs are now under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The company said it has received investigative subpoenas and requests from the SEC “about certain customer programs, operations, and existing and intended future products”, including its processes for listing assets, the classification of certain listed assets, its staking programs, and its stablecoin and yield-generating products, according to a quarterly filing. 

The SEC had sent a letter back in May asking for information on its listing process.
