The Chamber of Digital Commerce Challenges SEC’s Attempt to Regulate the Digital Asset Industry
The Chamber of Digital Commerce has announced its participation in the ongoing legal case between the SEC and Coinbase. The organization has submitted an “amicus curiae” brief, challenging the SEC’s attempt to regulate the digital asset industry without proper legislative authority.
Key Points:
- An amicus brief is a document presented by a person or group with a vested interest in a case’s outcome, offering additional information or viewpoints to assist the court in making a well-informed decision.
- The Chamber of Digital Commerce’s amicus brief references the Torres decision, highlighting the judge’s view that digital assets can be treated as separate commodities and stating that XRP is not an investment contract.
- The amicus brief also mentions the Terraform case, indicating that Judge Rakoff’s comments align with the idea that digital assets may not always be categorized as securities.
Hot Take:
As the Chamber of Digital Commerce stands with Coinbase, the crypto community joins together in seeking regulatory clarity from the SEC regarding digital assets.
