Coinbase 猛烈抨擊美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 駁回上訴“不一致”

Coinbase 的法律負責人 Paul Grewal 指責 SEC 在最近提交的文件中不一致，聲稱 SEC 與自己在涉及 Ripple Labs 的類似案件中提出的論點相矛盾。隨著 Coinbase 尋求駁回對其提起的訴訟，Coinbase 與 SEC 之間的法律鬥爭仍在繼續。

Coinbase Accuses SEC of Inconsistency in Interlocutory Appeal Denial

Coinbase 指責 SEC 在中間上訴駁回中不一致

New York City, May 10, 2024 - Coinbase's legal chief, Paul Grewal, has leveled accusations of inconsistency against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to the recent denial of the exchange's request to file an interlocutory appeal. In a series of tweets posted today, Grewal highlighted the SEC's contradictory stance on interlocutory appeals as evidenced by its own request for a similar appeal in the Ripple Labs lawsuit.

紐約市，2024 年 5 月 10 日 - Coinbase 法律負責人 Paul Grewal 對美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 最近拒絕該交易所提出中間上訴的請求提出了前後矛盾的指控。在今天發布的一系列推文中，Grewal 強調了 SEC 在中間上訴方面的矛盾立場，其在 Ripple Labs 訴訟中提出類似上訴的要求就證明了這一點。

"Today, the SEC filed its response to our request to file an interlocutory appeal with the 2nd Circuit," Grewal tweeted. "The Commission couldn't help contradicting its own arguments for the same kind of appeal in Ripple."

格雷瓦爾在推特上寫道：“今天，美國證券交易委員會對我們向第二巡迴法院提出中間上訴的請求做出了回應。” “委員會忍不住反駁了自己在 Ripple 中提出的類似上訴的論點。”

Coinbase's legal team had filed a motion to dismiss the SEC's lawsuit against the exchange in April, arguing that the SEC's claims were incorrect and seeking the dismissal of the case. After the judge denied the motion, Coinbase requested a rehearing and subsequently sought permission to appeal the decision.

Coinbase 的法律團隊於 4 月提出動議，駁回 SEC 針對該交易所的訴訟，認為 SEC 的主張不正確，並尋求駁回該案。在法官駁回該動議後，Coinbase 請求重審，並隨後尋求許可對裁決提出上訴。

However, the SEC has maintained that the case is not yet ripe for appellate review, arguing that it is "premature" and would "disrupt the orderly progress" of the litigation. Coinbase, on the other hand, contends that the interlocutory appeal is necessary to address the "serious legal errors" made by the district court and to avoid "irreparable harm" to the exchange.

然而，美國證券交易委員會堅稱，該案進行上訴審查的時機尚未成熟，認為“為時過早”，並且會“擾亂訴訟的有序進展”。另一方面，Coinbase 則認為，中間上訴是必要的，以解決地區法院所犯的“嚴重法律錯誤”，並避免對交易所造成“無法彌補的損害”。

Grewal criticized the SEC's approach as "contradictory" and called for "honest conversations" between the regulator and the exchange.

Grewal 批評 SEC 的做法“自相矛盾”，並呼籲監管機構和交易所之間進行“誠實對話”。

"Let's at least have an honest conversation," Grewal tweeted. "Forget about a split across agencies, circuits and elsewhere. There's not even a consensus about Howey and digital assets among the district judges in the same courthouse at Foley Square."

格雷瓦爾在推特上寫道：“至少讓我們進行一次誠實的對話。” 「忘掉機構、巡迴法院和其他地方之間的分歧吧。弗利廣場同一法院的地區法官之間甚至沒有就 Howey 和數位資產達成共識。”

The Howey Test is a legal framework used by the SEC to determine whether an investment contract constitutes a security. Coinbase has argued that its digital asset lending products do not meet the criteria of the Howey Test and are therefore not securities.

豪伊測試是 SEC 用於確定投資合約是否構成證券的法律框架。 Coinbase 辯稱，其數位資產借貸產品不符合 Howey 測試的標準，因此不是證券。

The SEC's denial of Coinbase's request for an interlocutory appeal is a setback for the exchange in its ongoing legal battle with the regulator. However, Coinbase has vowed to continue challenging the SEC's claims and to defend the interests of its customers.

SEC 拒絕 Coinbase 的中間上訴請求，對於該交易所與監管機構正在進行的法律鬥爭來說是一個挫折。然而，Coinbase 發誓將繼續挑戰 SEC 的主張並捍衛客戶的利益。

Coinbase's legal team has expressed confidence in the merits of their case and has stated that they are "prepared to vigorously defend it at every level of the judicial process."

Coinbase 的法律團隊對案件的是非曲直表示有信心，並表示他們「準備在司法程序的各個層面積極為其辯護」。

The ongoing legal battle between Coinbase and the SEC has significant implications for the cryptocurrency industry. The outcome of the case could determine the regulatory landscape for digital assets in the United States and set a precedent for how other exchanges are regulated in the future.

Coinbase 和 SEC 之間正在進行的法律鬥爭對加密貨幣行業產生了重大影響。該案的結果可能決定美國數位資產的監管格局，並為未來其他交易所的監管方式樹立先例。
