🚀Hey BTC enthusiasts! The SEC's battle with Coinbase continues, as the agency filed a motion to oppose Coinbase's motion to dismiss the case on Oct. 3. Coinbase's chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, called it "more of the same old same old." 🙄

The SEC accused Coinbase of selling unregistered securities and providing an unregistered staking service. However, Grewal argues that crypto assets haven't been legally deemed as securities by Congress. 🏛️

Coinbase filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in August, claiming the SEC violated due process and abused its discretion. The SEC's response reiterated that crypto assets are securities, similar to company stocks. Grewal disagrees, stating, "The assets we list on our platform are not securities and are not within the SEC’s jurisdiction." 🚫

Crypto lawyer John E. Deaton believes the odds have improved in Coinbase's favor, now standing at 50%. 🎲

Grewal also criticized the SEC's aggressive policing of the sector, saying it ignores the 52-million strong crypto constituency in the US that wants rules and regulations for this innovative tech. 🇺🇸

Coinbase will file their response to the SEC on October 24. Stay tuned! 📅
