The exchange said the token no longer met its listing standards, citing governance and risk concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bitgo\/\">BitGo<\/a>, the primary custodian for WBTC, had revealed a new partnership with BiT Global to diversify the token\u2019s Bitcoin reserve holdings outside the US.<\/p>\n<p>BiT Global was set to serve as a co-custodian, with reserves partially relocated to Hong Kong. The move sparked criticism in the crypto industry due to BiT Global\u2019s known ties to Sun, who was facing <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tron-founder-justin-sun-and-sec-seek-time-out-for-potential-resolution\/\">regulatory probes<\/a> in the US at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase argued that allowing WBTC to fall under Sun-affiliated control posed an <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-fights-back-against-bit-globals-effort-to-block-wbtc-delisting\/\">\u201cunacceptable risk\u201d<\/a> to user security and market integrity.<\/p>\n<p>BiT Global, in turn, alleged that Coinbase's rationale masked a conflict of interest. The lawsuit accused the exchange of using the delisting to undermine a competing product, WBTC, in favor of its own wrapped Bitcoin token, cbBTC, which Coinbase launched shortly afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The firm described the delisting as a \u201ccash grab\u201d designed to boost cbBTC\u2019s market share by sidelining its main rival.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal setback preceded withdrawal<\/h2>\n<p>The case suffered a major blow in March when Judge Araceli Martinez-Olgu\u00edn denied BiT Global\u2019s motion for a preliminary injunction, ruling that the firm had not demonstrated imminent harm from the delisting.<\/p>\n<p>By May, during a hearing, the judge signaled that she was inclined to grant Coinbase\u2019s motion to dismiss the case entirely, citing a lack of legal grounds to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>With the court leaning heavily in Coinbase\u2019s favor, BiT Global opted to drop the case before a formal ruling was issued. The company has not provided a public explanation for the withdrawal and did not respond to media inquiries.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase, for its part, reaffirmed its stance following the dismissal. The exchange's\u00a0Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said in a social media post on June 9:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have zero plans to relist WBTC.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The case highlighted how custody decisions and token listing policies are becoming flashpoints in an industry still lacking unified regulatory oversight. While WBTC remains the dominant wrapped Bitcoin token by market cap, Coinbase\u2019s cbBTC has grown rapidly in adoption since its launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BiT Global, a crypto custody firm tied to entrepreneur Justin Sun, has voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase over the delisting of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC).
