Attorney Jame’s Filan in a tweet mentioned that the court reviewed the request of the Chamber of Digital Commerce for leave to file an Amicus Curiae Brief and the parties’ response. He added that the judge has granted the Chamber’s request.

Digital Chamber rejoiced in this decision of the court in the Ripple lawsuit. It informed that they have filed their brief with the court. However, they are the same that were attached as an exhibit to the motion filed earlier in the Ripple lawsuit.

In the briefs, Digital Chamber has mentioned that its interest lies in fostering regularity certainty and compliance. The organization regularly submits briefs as Amicus Curiae in cases that hold the interest in the crypto and blockchain community. It specified that it seeks huge interests which have novel questions of law.

What does Chamber seek in the case?

As per Briefs, Chamber urges the court to recognize certain things when the decision is filed in the Ripple Lawsuit. It asks for a well settled law that can be applied to determine if an ICO constitutes an investment contract. The court needs to decide when an investment contract is itself a security.
