Coinbase files interlocutory appeal in US SEC lawsuit

Coinbase has filed an interlocutory appeal against the judge's decision last month in the U.S. SEC lawsuit, arguing that there are good reasons for the disagreement, according to a person familiar with the matter. In its motion, Coinbase will appeal whether the SEC has the authority to treat digital asset transactions as investment contracts. It is reported that the interlocutory appeal is unlikely to be approved. Last year, the SEC attempted to file an interlocutory appeal against Ripple, but it was ultimately dismissed. Next, the case will go to trial and will be presented to a jury, but this process may not begin until 2025. The SEC and Coinbase must also submit a proposed case management plan by April 19. Coinbase was sued by the SEC last year for allegedly acting as an unregistered exchange, broker and clearing agency. The SEC also questioned Coinbase's pledge and wallet services.
