The US Department of Homeland Security is considering making Coinbase available to the public.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange complies with U.S. sanctions and laws and may use its services by individuals, organizations, or jurisdictions that have reported their activities to government agencies. Coinbase has filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleging it sent public data to the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or responded to the latest disclosure. This agency is responsible for administering disciplinary action in the United States. In a statement sent to the US SEC last week, Coinbase said it had not been fined or otherwise charged in connection with the post or disclosure, but some information was leaked.
