The growth comes despite the SEC lawsuit, which was filed in June. The SEC ramped up its regulatory pressure as it sued Coinbase, claiming that some digital currencies are securities.
This happened shortly after a broader complaint was filed against Binance, another cryptocurrency trading platform.
In the most recent update in the lawsuit, Judge Failla has scheduled the briefing on Coinbase's motion for judgment on the pleas.

Seven days later, on Oct. 10 precisely, amicus briefs supporting the SEC will be submitted. On Oct. 24, Coinbase's reply brief is expected.
An oral argument on the motion will be scheduled for sometime after Oct. 24. According to the legal expert, MetaLawMan, this is a quick schedule for a big case like Coinbase.
Layer 2 base to open on Aug. 9
