An amicus brief is a document filed in court by a party not directly involved with the related case. It is generally used to add supporting arguments to one side of the lawsuit and emphasizes how the case will have a broader impact beyond the involved parties.

On the same day, Senator Cynthia Lummis also submitted an amicus brief in support of the crypto exchange.


The scholars behind the filing are Stephen Bainbridge of the University of California, Los Angeles; Tamar Frankel of Boston University School of Law; Sean Griffith of Fordham University School of Law; Lawrence Hamermesh of Widener University, Delaware Law School; Matthew Henderson of the University of Chicago Law School; and Jonathan Macey from Yale Law School.

In their filing, the legal scholars contended that federal precedents and the Howey test acknowledge that investment contracts necessitate anticipation of business income, profits or assets. The group has asked the court to adhere to the established legal definition of “investment contract” when interpreting its scope:“An investor must be promised, by virtue of his or her investment, an ongoing contractual interest in the income, profits, or assets of the enterprise. In this section, we discuss some of these cases.”


The legal scholars clarified that their affiliations with universities or law schools are irrelevant to their involvement with the amicus brief.
