The vast majority of the enquiries came from the United States and were tied to criminal investigations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase\u2019s new transparency report covers the last four quarters ending with September. In that time, the exchange received 12,320 information requests from law enforcement, an increase of about 66%. The United States accounted for 5,304, or 43%, of those requests. The United Kingdom, Germany and Spain produced between 1,000 and 2,000 requests apiece. Those four countries accounted for 80% of requests, while 57 other countries also made requests. <\/p>\n<p>The 1,304 requests from Spain represent an increase o 940%. It was one of six countries that had more than doubled their enquiries in the last year. Twenty-one countries sent requests for the first time during the reporting period, including the Czech Republic, which sent 104 of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: Binance CEO, Coinbase exec feature in Masterclass crypto crash-course<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the report, which was attributed to chief legal officer Paul Grewal, Coinbase may challenge or ask agencies to narrow their requests, as decided by their team of lawyers.
