According to Foresight News, according to The Block, Katherine Polk Failla, a judge in the New York District, rejected Coinbase's request to subpoena Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Katherine Polk Failla was dissatisfied with Coinbase's arguments and suggested that it submit a motion for enforcement. Previously, Coinbase had asked Gary Gensler to provide communication records related to the case, but the U.S. SEC believed that the subpoena should be directed at institutions rather than individuals, calling it "improper intrusion."
