Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, has denied claims that the exchange “hates Solana 
$168.” Responding directly to a user on X, Grewal emphasized that the exchange has invested millions of dollars in support of the Solana protocol.
Coinbase CLO and the Fight for Solana
Grewal highlighted that Coinbase made significant investments to defend Solana against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has argued that the sale of Solana and other altcoins on retail platforms constitutes securities trading.
He expressed that he and his team are constantly considering strategies to counter what he described as a “ridiculous attack.” Grewal reaffirmed that the platform’s legal efforts to defend Solana will continue because of their belief in the cryptocurrency.
Support for SOL-Based Tokens
Coinbase’s support for the Solana ecosystem also includes enhancing accessibility for various tokens launched on the network. The trading platform contributes to the growth of the Solana ecosystem through listings and yield products.
Previously, Coinbase added the PNUT meme coin on the Solana network. With the acceptance of new meme coins like TRUMP and MELANIA, the SOL ecosystem has positioned Coinbase as the preferred platform for these assets in the U.S.
Efforts for a Level Playing Field
As the U.S. presidential elections approach, Coinbase has played a significant role in supporting pro-crypto candidates. The trading platform has become one of the largest donors to Fairshake, a super PAC that supports crypto-friendly candidates.
These donation efforts culminated in the victory and inauguration of President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order aimed at establishing national digital asset stocks. This move is seen as a step towards leveling the playing field for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin 
$106,417 and Solana.
Coinbase’s ongoing support for Solana continues to play a pivotal role in both the legal battles and the growth of its ecosystem.
