According to a fresh batch of files obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Coinbase, SEC officials were actively debating the stability and security classification of various crypto assets back in 2021.

Since the early days of the internet, HTTP 402, a payment status code that showed “Payment Required,” has existed as a placeholder in web protocols.

Launched on…
