Coinbase Accuses SEC of Inconsistency in Interlocutory Appeal Denial

Coinbase 指责 SEC 在中间上诉驳回中不一致

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.

纽约市，2024 年 5 月 10 日 - Coinbase 法律负责人 Paul Grewal 对美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 最近拒绝该交易所提出中间上诉的请求提出了前后矛盾的指控。在今天发布的一系列推文中，Grewal 强调了 SEC 在中间上诉方面的矛盾立场，其在 Ripple Labs 诉讼中提出类似上诉的要求就证明了这一点。

"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."

格雷瓦尔在推特上写道：“今天，美国证券交易委员会对我们向第二巡回法院提出中间上诉的请求做出了回应。” “委员会忍不住反驳了自己在 Ripple 中提出的类似上诉的论点。”

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 的法律团队于 4 月份提出动议，驳回 SEC 针对该交易所的诉讼，认为 SEC 的主张不正确，并寻求驳回该案。在法官驳回该动议后，Coinbase 请求重审，并随后寻求许可对裁决提出上诉。

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，美国证券交易委员会坚称，该案进行上诉审查的时机尚未成熟，认为“为时过早”，并且会“扰乱诉讼的有序进展”。另一方面，Coinbase 则认为，中间上诉是必要的，以解决地区法院所犯的“严重法律错误”，并避免对交易所造成“无法弥补的损害”。

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

Grewal 批评 SEC 的做法“自相矛盾”，并呼吁监管机构和交易所之间进行“诚实对话”。

"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."

格雷瓦尔在推特上写道：“至少让我们进行一次诚实的对话。” “忘掉机构、巡回法院和其他地方之间的分歧吧。弗利广场同一法院的地区法官之间甚至没有就 Howey 和数字资产达成共识。”

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.

豪伊测试是 SEC 用于确定投资合同是否构成证券的法律框架。 Coinbase 辩称，其数字资产借贷产品不符合 Howey 测试的标准，因此不是证券。

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 拒绝 Coinbase 的中间上诉请求，对于该交易所与监管机构正在进行的法律斗争来说是一个挫折。然而，Coinbase 发誓将继续挑战 SEC 的主张并捍卫客户的利益。

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 的法律团队对案件的是非曲直表示有信心，并表示他们“准备在司法程序的各个层面积极为其辩护”。

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 之间正在进行的法律斗争对加密货币行业产生了重大影响。该案的结果可能决定美国数字资产的监管格局，并为未来其他交易所的监管方式树立先例。
