Kentucky has dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase over staking services, becoming the third U.S. state to roll back legal action against the exchange in recent months. On March 31, the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions filed a joint stipulation of dismissal, officially ending its case that accused Coinbase of offering unregistered securities through its staking program. Following the move, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal took to X, calling for federal clarity. “Congress needs to end this litigation-driven, state-by-state approach with a federal market structure law ASAP,” he wrote . Kentucky’s exit follows similar dismissals by Vermont and South Carolina. Vermont backed out on March 14, citing the dismissal of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s federal case and the need for clearer nationwide rules. The SEC itself set the tone earlier this year when it voluntarily dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase on Feb. 27. The agency said the move would help support its broader efforts to rethink and reshape how it approaches crypto regulation. South Carolina followed Vermont and dismissed its case just days later, with Grewal noting at the time that local users lost around $2 million in staking rewards due to the ban. Within hours after the suit was dropped, the exchange confirmed that staking was live again in South Carolina across all access points. A group of ten states originally targeted Coinbase in June 2023 after the SEC sued the exchange. At the time, regulators argued that Coinbase’s staking program was essentially an unregistered securities offering since users earned rewards by delegating their tokens through the platform. As of now, seven states, namely California, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, Alabama, Maryland, and Wisconsin, still have pending actions against Coinbase. Kentucky dropped the Coinbase lawsuit less than a week after Governor Andy Beshear signed the state’s “Bitcoin Rights” bill into law. It secures the right to self-custody, allows residents to run blockchain nodes, and shields mining operations from discriminatory regulations. Lawmakers are also weighing a separate proposal that would let the state allocate up to 10% of its excess reserves into Bitcoin.

Jack Tatar may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when we mention the world of crypto. However, who would have thought that this man who used to study the world of traditional finance would actually become one of the figures who helped bridge old investors with the world of digital assets that are full of risks and opportunities. He doesn’t just write about crypto; he lives in it, long enough to see the hype and the crash come and go. Jack’s journey did not immediately start from blockchain or Bitcoin. He is the founder of GEM Research Solutions, a market research company that focuses on financial services. At that time, he was more familiar with stock market reports and retirement trend analysis than crypto whitepapers. However, when Bitcoin began to steal attention in the early 2010s, Jack began to realize that something big was moving beyond Wall Street’s radar. As someone who is used to tracking change, he did not sit still. He studied, wrote, and finally jumped in. Together with Chris Burniske, Jack then wrote a book titled “Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor’s Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond.” This book is not just a technical guide, he tries to answer the big question that was still unclear at the time: how do these digital assets actually fit into an investment portfolio? Rather than just selling a dream, this book discusses how to analyze crypto like we analyze stocks or bonds. And interestingly, Jack always reminds readers to be careful, because crypto volatility is not just a number that goes up and down, but can destroy a wallet overnight. Furthermore, Jack did not stop in the publishing world. He is now a Managing Partner at Doyle Capital Management, a company that invests in early-stage technology companies, including projects based on blockchain and distributed computing. His focus is clear: technology that can change the way people live. On the other hand, he is also active as Chair of the Cryptoasset Working Group for the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance. Imagine, someone who used to be busy with pension data is now a liaison between large financial institutions and the crypto world that was previously considered a “young man’s toy.” What sets Jack apart from most crypto “influencers” today is his humble approach. He prefers to explain crypto concepts in layman’s terms rather than technical terms that only a few people can understand. He also diligently writes opinions and analyses in various financial media, such as Forbes, including an interesting article titled “Would Satoshi Drive a Tesla?”—a piece that cleverly links Bitcoin philosophy to today’s lifestyle. Even in his personal life, Jack still displays a unique side. He is part of the amateur radio community and has been accepted into the W2ZQ operator club. Amid the glitz of crypto and technology conferences, he still makes time for simple, calming things, something that many crypto industry players sometimes forget.
