“SEC Deviated From Prior Interpretation Of Law”

Attorneys representing the Crypto exchange filed a memorandum of law in support of Coinbase’s motion for judgment on the pleadings before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. They argued that the SEC violated due process, and abandoned its own earlier interpretations of the securities laws. “By ignoring that precedent, the SEC has trampled the strict boundaries on its basic authority set by Congress,” said Paul Grewal, the chief legal officer at the exchange.

The attorneys also explained that the agency’s effort to portray a simple asset sale as a security is an unprecedented stretch.” Interestingly, the attorneys referred to the XRP lawsuit ruling, saying:

“The Ripple court found no investment contract based on facts substantially identical to those alleged here.”
