Coinbase Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Paul Grewal has commended the Department of Energy (DoE) for its swift rectification in response to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Bitcoin (BTC) mining survey controversy. The EIA recently announced its decision to discontinue the emergency acquisition of energy use data from Bitcoin miners. Quoting Senator Cynthia Lummis’ remarks on the case, Grewal wrote, “It’s clear that the DoE violated the law. It admits its mistake, addresses the harm imposed, and commits to doing things the right way in the future. It doesn’t dig in to avoid embarrassment. It’s not that hard.”
