To that end, Celsius is seeking approval of a related agreement in bankruptcy court.<\/p>\n<p>However, the SEC contends that the role Coinbase is expected to play, as per the filing, surpasses the typical duties of a distribution agent. The regulator also highlighted inconsistencies: Celsius has stated that it does not intend for Coinbase to provide brokerage services, but its agreement with Coinbase suggests that such services will in fact be provided.<\/p>\n<p>The securities regulator said it believes that the two companies have an additional agreement that they intend to file under seal. The regulator argued that, if there is a new agreement, that agreement should be provided to it and to the court.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC added that some trading services described within the agreement are related to various concerns that it raised in its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-sues-coinbase-for-multiple-alleged-securities-law-violations\/\">June 6<\/a> lawsuit against Coinbase.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Grewal, Coinbase's chief legal officer, commented on the matter on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iampaulgrewal\/status\/1706351710887649491\">Sept. 25<\/a>.\u00a0 Grewal wrote that his firm is &#8220;proud to engage with Celsius to distribute crypto back to its customers.&#8221; He also questioned why the SEC is opposed to the distribution plan and said that his firm will address the matter within Celsius' bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Celsius originally halted withdrawals in June 2022 and filed for bankruptcy about one month later in July. A <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/haileylennon\/2022\/08\/01\/bankrupt-crypto-lender-celsius-could-leave-customers-last-in-line-to-get-paid\/?sh=4f759aa05fde\">Forbes<\/a><\/em> report at that time suggested that the company owed $4.7 billion to creditors, including retail users but excluding institutional partners.<\/p>\n<h2>SEC concerns also extend to CEL token<\/h2>\n<p>The SEC noted that it has put forward allegations around Celsius' <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/celsius\/\">CEL token<\/a> in a securities fraud case. That case began in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/celsiuss-mashinsky-arrested-sec-files-securities-fraud-charges\/\">July<\/a> and is separate from the bankruptcy case.<\/p>\n<p>In the fraud case, the SEC alleges that Celsius and its former CEO Alex Mashinksy offered and sold the CEL token in unregistered and fraudulent security offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as part of its latest complaint in the bankruptcy case, the SEC has asked the court to rule on whether CEL is a security. It also asked for the effects of this ruling to be limited to the dispute over Celsius' distribution plan. The regulator said that any broader ruling could &#8220;impede and jeopardize&#8221; its separate securities case against Celsius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sept. 23 filed an objection to part of a reorganization plan advanced by bankrupt crypto firm Celsius.
