Coinbase is back in the legal spotlight, but this time, it’s not the SEC knocking at the door. The Oregon Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against the crypto exchange, accusing it of offering and selling unregistered securities to users in the state.
The lawsuit claims that Coinbase offered and sold at least 31 tokens as unregistered securities, and that includes some big names like XRP, ADA, LINK, AAVE, MKR, and UNI.
Oregon Named 31 Tokens as “Crypto Securities”
In an ongoing lawsuit, Oregon state is suing Coinbase for violating state securities laws. The lawsuit claims Coinbase helped sell unregistered cryptocurrencies, making millions in fees while Oregonians lost money.
NEW: The Oregon AG suing @coinbase is claiming around 31 tokens (18 more than the SEC originally named) including $XRP, $LINK and $UNI were offered and sold as investment contracts. The lawsuit refers to them as “crypto securities.”
Oregon’s Attorney General, Dan Rayfield, said, “Coinbase gained trust from people in Oregon and then offered risky investments that weren’t fully checked. Because of this, people lost money, and we think Coinbase should be held responsible.”
Oregon specifically names 31 crypto tokens it believes were illegally offered as unregistered securities. These include popular tokens like ADA, SOL, XRP, LINK, AAVE, MATIC, UNI, and many more.
Although Oregon is going further than the U.S. SEC, which listed 18 tokens in its lawsuit.
Coinbase Responds
Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, fired back on X. He criticized Oregon’s Attorney General for filing the lawsuit on behalf of over 500,000 users, without their consent. He also said this lawsuit could hurt the entire crypto industry, not just Coinbase.
Oregon’s Case Impact On XRP
Even though Oregon’s lawsuit is only about state rules, it could affect the whole country.
One big thing in the case is XRP, the token from Ripple. Oregon’s Attorney General says XRP should be treated like a security, which means it would have to follow certain rules.
Ripple recently won against the SEC, but now Oregon is bringing the issue up again. They’re still arguing about whether XRP is a security or not.

Hedera (HBAR) enters May in a fragile yet potentially explosive technical setup, with futures activity cooling and price movements closely tied to Bitcoin’s momentum. HBAR Futures volume remains subdued, suggesting a decline in speculative interest compared to earlier this year.
Meanwhile, HBAR continues to track Bitcoin’s performance with amplified volatility. As BTC flirts with the $100,000 level and sentiment shifts bullish, HBAR could either break through key resistance levels and rally toward $0.40—or face a deeper correction if technical support fails.
Low HBAR Futures Volume Points to Cooling Speculation
HBAR Futures volume is currently at $118 million, up from a recent low of $76 million on April 19—its lowest point in the last three months.
This follows a steady decline from much higher levels seen earlier in the year.
Notably, HBAR Futures open interest had peaked at $1.3 billion on March 1 but has not surpassed $300 million since April 12, signaling a significant drop in speculative activity around the token.
Hedera Futures refer to derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on the future price of HBAR, the native token of the Hedera network. Both retail and institutional participants often use these contracts to hedge risk or take leveraged positions.
Futures volumes and open interest are key indicators of market sentiment and liquidity—higher volumes typically suggest stronger conviction or increased trading activity. At the same time, declining figures may reflect reduced interest or confidence in near-term price action.
The current lower levels suggest HBAR’s recent price movements may have been more influenced by spot demand than leveraged speculation.
Hedera’s High Correlation with BTC Could Drive Next Rally
HBAR has recently shown a high correlation with Bitcoin (BTC), often amplifying the moves of the broader crypto market leader.
When BTC rallies, HBAR tends to rise even more sharply; conversely, HBAR often experiences deeper pullbacks during corrections. This pattern reflects Hedera’s sensitivity to market sentiment and positioning as a higher-beta asset in the crypto space.
As a result, shifts in Bitcoin’s trajectory, especially during periods of strong momentum, can significantly influence HBAR’s price action.

With Bitcoin up 13% in the past 30 days and now sitting just 6.3% below the $100,000 mark, the next leg higher could have a strong spillover effect on HBAR.
On-chain data shows a recovery in BTC’s apparent demand, while institutional sentiment is gradually improving, with ETF inflows showing early signs of a rebound. If Bitcoin breaks above $100,000, HBAR could benefit from renewed capital inflows and rising market enthusiasm.
Given HBAR’s tendency to outperform BTC in bullish phases, a decisive Bitcoin breakout could be a powerful catalyst for a broader move in Hedera.
Key Levels to Watch as HBAR Faces Bullish Breakout or Death Cross
HBAR price faces a critical technical setup heading into May, with the potential for a sharp move in either direction. On the bullish side, if HBAR can attract strong buying pressure and establish a sustained uptrend, it could climb as much as 123% to reach $0.40.
To do so, the token must first break through a series of key resistance levels at $0.20, $0.258, $0.32, and $0.37—each of which has previously acted as a rejection point during past rallies.
A successful breakout through these levels could signal renewed momentum and broader market confidence in Hedera.
However, downside risks remain firmly in play. HBAR’s EMA lines show signs of an impending death cross—a bearish pattern in which the short-term average moves below the long-term average, indicating that a deeper correction may be ahead.
If this formation is confirmed, HBAR could first test support at $0.16. Failure to hold that level may lead to further losses toward $0.124, and in a more aggressive downtrend, prices could decline to $0.0053.
