Coinbase, SEC spar over investment definition in appeal attempt

May 24, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

The SEC is evading the real issue, and the court was wrong to take its side, Coinbase claims in a defense of its interlocutory appeal.

Coinbase has leaned heavily into case law in its latest volley against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has come to a rare conclusion: "the SEC seeks to side-step the [Howey] test.”

Coinbase filed a memorandum in support of its interlocutory appeal—an appeal against a single ruling in an ongoing case—on May 24. The document is a response to the SEC’s opposition to its original request for such an appeal. Coinbase filed its interlocutory appeal on April 12 disputing a March 27 ruling that the SEC had shown sufficient grounds to claim the cryptocurrency exchange’s staking program was an unregistered securities offering.
