In a display of unbridled optimism, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently tweeted that the company's morale has improved following the receipt of a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Armstrong's comments have left many wondering if the CEO is out of touch with reality.
A Wells notice is a letter typically sent to inform a company or individual that the SEC is planning enforcement action against them.
The SEC issued the Wells notice to Coinbase regarding staking and asset listings. In earlier tweets, Armstrong discussed the content of the Wells notice, the company's legal stance, and its commitment to customers.
Despite Armstrong's attempts to rally his team and the crypto community, the ongoing investigation by the SEC remains a significant cause for concern.

Coinbase's future will depend on its ability to navigate the regulatory landscape, and it remains to be seen whether Armstrong's public show of confidence will ultimately help or hinder the company.
