Crypto Vs SEC: Will Coinbase’s Petition Triumph Against SEC’s Judicial Scrutiny

Published by

A petition of leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has faced challenges, as in response to the petition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has highlighted the existence of judicial scrutiny.

Coinbase finds itself in the midst of a legal battle with the SEC, as it seeks clear guidelines and rulemaking for the cryptocurrency industry.

Despite encountering challenges, a tweet, posted by a lawyer-cum-crypro enthusiast, identified as bill morgan on Twitter, maintains a hopeful outlook for a successful outcome of the petition.

SEC Responds to Coinbase’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus

In a tweet posted by Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal early today, he explains the latest development in the legal battle between the SEC and Coinbase.

As per the tweet, the SEC has responded to Coinbase’s petition for a writ of mandamus, which asked the court to compel the SEC to provide a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response regarding whether it would initiate rulemaking for the cryptocurrency industry. 

In the tweet, the SEC’s answer is described as a resounding ‘maybe’, indicating uncertainty or indecisiveness.  

Highlighting Judicial Scrutiny and Coinbase’s Participation

The SEC’s acknowledgment of judicial scrutiny in its enforcement actions brings attention to the accountability and adherence to legal standards within the regulatory landscape.

As the SEC takes legal actions against securities violators, its decisions undergo review and evaluation by independent courts, ensuring a fair and transparent approach to enforcement.

Coinbase’s active participation in this process is notable, as the exchange has filed two amicus briefs, utilizing the opportunity to present its arguments and perspectives on the SEC’s enforcement approach and interpretations of securities laws.
