New Jersey lifts Coinbase staking ban, drops $5M penalty
AI take
The reversal signals a shift in how state regulators are treating staking products, and it removes a material overhang for Coinbase's US retail offering. The timing, ahead of a broader midterm test for the crypto industry, suggests enforcement posture may be softening as political stakes rise. Whether other states follow New Jersey's lead, and whether the dropped penalty sets a precedent for similar cases, is the open question worth watching.
