🔔Big news in the #crypto world! 🌐 U.S. regulators are pushing back against Coinbase's request for an appeals court to review how traditional securities rules apply to cryptocurrencies. Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, wants to know if the Howey Test, a Supreme Court assessment for securities, applies to digital assets. They're hoping it doesn't. 🙏

The SEC argues that Coinbase is trying to create a "new legal test" for how crypto fits into existing securities law. The exchange's appeal focuses on a specific legal question about "contractual obligations," but the SEC says the real issue is how the Howey Test applies to crypto. 🤔
