I feel like there is concerted effort by all these large corporations ran by a few people to keep us under control. Everything that seems to decentralize power seems to get destroyed. #BTC#ETF
SEC v @coinbase Update IV
In an unusual move, the Judge dispensed with any prepared arguments from either side and instead went straight to questioning the lawyers.
The first 2 hours was spent exclusively questioning of the SEC lawyers.
The SEC lawyers were better prepared than they were at the initial pre-motion conference several months ago.
The questioning started with staking, then went to how Howey applies to crypto, and finished with the Major Questions Doctrine.
The Judge is super sharp on these issues and asked very precise questions she had prepared in advance.
The Judge said she had not decided anything—had an open mind on these issues.
The Judge repeatedly referenced the amicus briefs filed in support of Coinbase.
She said she found particularly significant that Senator Lummis has filed a brief saying that Congress needs to decide the issues in this case, including how crypto assets will be classified and which agency will ultimately have authority to regulate in this area.
Coinbase’s lawyers are now up for questioning from the Judge. I would expect a couple more hours at least.
Back later.
