Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of United States-based cryptocurrency firm Coinbase (NASDAQ:), has pushed back against a proposed rule change from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which could change the definition of an exchange and how digital assets are regulated.

In a June 14 Twitter thread, Grewal said the SEC proposal “tries to fit a square peg in a round hole” and was “too flawed on process and substance to move forward”. He was referring to the SEC extending the comment period for a proposed rule change in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which could have securities laws apply to decentralized exchanges in the same way they currently apply to securities exchanges.
