Cryptocurrency blogger Matt Wallace has accused crypto exchange Coinbase of intentionally leaking confidential information and attacking its competitor, Binance, via a Bloomberg publication.
Coinbase may have been the “anonymous Bloomberg source” whose information formed the basis of the publication, which reported that Binance specialists created smart contracts for the USD1 stablecoin issued by the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project of the family of US President Donald Trump.
Wallace believes that Coinbase is seeking to undermine the reputation of its competitor, fearing the return of the world’s largest crypto exchange to the US market after the possible pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. The blogger insists that Coinbase’s actions may be related to the desire to maintain dominance in the US crypto market, where Binance, with its low fees and quality service, poses a threat.
“Coinbase has learned that a pardon for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao may be on the US presidential agenda, and fears that Binance’s competitor will return to the US with full legal status,” says Matt Wallace.
Coinbase’s chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, said his company had no involvement in the Bloomberg article.
“This is pure misinformation. We had no involvement whatsoever in the writing of this article. We do not attack competitors and welcome any company that shares our goal,” said Paul Grewal.
Earlier, the largest American crypto exchange Coinbase announced that it had received a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license in Luxembourg, which will allow the company to provide its services in all 27 countries of the European Union.
