Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a securities enforcement action against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, echoing federal charges that were brought under the Biden administration but dropped earlier this year.

I’m also against “just do every approach” which is probably the only thing worse than not picking an approach“.
