TBH, this relatively minor discovery dispute is not all that legally interesting.

BUT, I took this opportunity to revisit the SEC's grand press release from 2020 that it had sued Ripple, et al.
Ripple demolished all the issues except those not crossed out. That's a lot of RED! https://t.co/uuVpLnuBXw pic.twitter.com/pb9czBqJKQ
We know the same argument equally applies to buying #BTC

Guess what the SEC lawyer said about buying #Bitcoin - and why it’s not a security?
He said #BTC doesn’t have a network.
SEC enforcement lawyers are not that stupid. They just lack integrity. It’s as if they “lack a… https://t.co/vGV4sdmmaQ

But, just for fun! - my guess is that she's going to trim out some issues from the lawsuit (ie. the "staking" allegations which always seemed farfetched to me) and leave the other issues to move forward into discovery. A partial victory for Coinbase.

Judge Failla (paraphrasing): "The SEC's security test would lead to a class action lawsuit against the seller of Beanie Babies."
— Jeremy Hogan (@attorneyjeremy1) January 17, 2024
The SEC then tries to distinguish Beanie Babies, and for the most part fails because the truth is that, for the SEC, a Beanie Baby IS a security.
The common thread is that he is arguing they are both examples of executive branch agencies exercising power in the absence of a clear grant of that power from Congress on the grounds that the text of the law is ambiguous and so they should get to choose what it means.
