I am pretty sure Coinbase used to be a btc/usd only exchange and if they could do it in the past, they can do it now. The regulators will be happy, the bitcoiners will be happy, the baldy will get to keep his business… win win win for everyone (everyone but shitcoiners)
I mean, the fact that he decided to ignore SEC request and go to the court instead says how much it means to him/Coinbase.
