The San Francisco-based firm said in a blog post that the financial watchdog also didn’t even explain why it decided that a subset of tokens on Coinbase were “securities” when others were not. Ripple said:

“The inconsistent application of undefined rules hurts consumers, markets and innovators.”

Ripple noted that SEC’s “regulation by enforcement” campaign first started in December 2020, when the regulator sued Ripple, claiming that the firm was selling unregistered securities in the form of XRP.
