As a long-term crypto investor with experience in following the regulatory landscape, I find Paul Grewal’s recent statement on Coinbase’s ongoing legal battle with the SEC both intriguing and frustrating. The inconsistency in the SEC’s stance on interlocutory appeals, as highlighted by Grewal, raises serious concerns about the overall regulatory environment for crypto exchanges and digital assets.
As a crypto investor following the latest developments in the regulatory landscape, I’ve noticed an intriguing inconsistency from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Coinbase’s legal chief, Paul Grewal, recently called out the SEC for this discrepancy. In their recent filing, the SEC opposed Coinbase’s application to file an interlocutory appeal in our case. However, it is important to note that the SEC itself has requested such an appeal in the ongoing Ripple Labs lawsuit. This apparent contradiction raises valid questions about the fairness and transparency of their regulatory decisions.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) responded to our petition for permission to appeal an interlocutory decision by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Interestingly, the SEC’s current stance contradicts their previous arguments regarding similar appeals in the Ripple case. Let’s examine some of their past and present statements: 1/3

In April, Coinbase asked the court to throw out a lawsuit filed against it by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The cryptocurrency exchange argued that the SEC’s allegations were baseless and requested the dismissal of the case. After the judge declined their motion, Coinbase sought a reconsideration of the decision. Subsequently, they applied for permission to take the issue to a higher court for review. However, the SEC insists that the case cannot be heard in the US appellate courts yet as it is not ripe for appeal.
Grewal expressed his concern on platform x, pointing out that the SEC’s stance appears inconsistent and advocated for open dialogues between the regulatory body and the exchange.
I acknowledge the complexity of the situation at hand. Disregarding any potential divisions among agencies or circuits, it’s important to note that there isn’t even a unified opinion among the district judges situated in the same courthouse at Foley Square regarding Howey and digital assets.
