Coinbase shares rose 4.9% in premarket trading after regulators agreed to drop a lawsuit against the company, a move that was expected after the election of President Trump.
Shares were trading around $268.58. The stock is up 55% over the last year.
The crypto firm said enforcers at the Securities and Exchange Commission will recommend dismissal of the two-year old lawsuit filed under the Biden administration that sought to regulate the company as a stock exchange.
