Coinbase and Ripple Labs are using a recent court ruling to challenge the Securities Exchange Commission's (SEC) regulatory stance on cryptocurrencies. The court ruled that the SEC failed to prove that the secondary sale of BNB was a security in the Binance case, gaining legal support for
Coinbase and Ripple. Coinbase emphasized the need for the SEC to conduct rulemaking to clarify the legal status of digital assets, while Ripple pointed out that the ruling shows that dealing with the crypto industry on a case-by-case basis may not be the most efficient approach. This ruling has exacerbated legal uncertainty in the industry, prompting parties to accelerate their pursuit of confirmation and guidance from the court and appellate process. The SEC's legal disputes with Ripple, Coinbase, and Binance continue, and future scheduled meetings are expected to have a significant impact on the progress of these cases.
