随着 Ripple Labs 与美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 之间的官司接近尾声，所有人的目光都集中在法官 Analisa Torres 身上，美国司法部可能为 Brad Garlinghouse 及其公司提供了另一个论据。
在美国司法部最近针对 Avraham Eisenberg 提交的法庭文件中，美国司法部将两种加密货币称为商品。开发去中心化金融平台的艾森伯格芒果市场 赚了 6700 万美元，昨天在波多黎各被捕，带电 与市场操纵。
为瑞波币欢呼的理由？
对于 XRP 投资者和 Ripple Labs，起诉书很有趣，因为美国司法部将这两种加密货币称为 CRV 和 MNGO 商品，而不是证券。 DoJ 律师在任何时候都没有将加密货币称为证券，也没有提到违反证券法 .
看起来司法部正在调用 MNGO 和/或 CRV 商品（而不是证券）！！！！pic.twitter.com/ZklOlubR8u

因此，对于司法部而言，这两种代币都不应归类为证券似乎没有争议。这与 SEC 主席加里·金斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 形成鲜明对比，后者不仅领导了针对 Ripple 的诉讼，而且还在多个场合表示几乎所有加密代币都是证券。
在起诉书中，司法部明确指出 CRV 和 MNGO 代币是商品。它指出：
被告 AVRAHAM EISENBEG 明智地、故意地、直接地和间接地使用 […] 与交换、州际和止赎商业中的商品销售合同，以及未来根据注册实体的规则交付，违反联邦法规第 17 篇第 180.1 节 […] 的操纵性和欺骗性装置和设计
对于 Ripple，美国司法部可能提供了另一个论据，即加密货币的法律状况并不像美国证券交易委员会一直声称的那样明确。由于 CRV 和 MNGO 都被指定为商品，因此至少可以合理地假设 XRP 是商品而不是证券。
值得注意的是，这些文件是由位于纽约南区的美国司法部提交的，与案件 Ripple 和美国证券交易委员会之间正在发生。
这只是策略吗？
德尔福实验室总法律顾问 Gabriel Shapiro，评论了 该案没有将相关代币归类为证券这一事实绝不是积极的。根据夏皮罗的说法，分类只是诉讼策略的结果。 “政府在其案件中必须提起诉讼的谓词问题越少越好。”
DeFi Pulse 的联合创始人 Scott Lewis 同意 Shapiro 的观点，并表示政府不会通过这份文件宣布针对代币的新政策。尽管如此，他说，针对加密代币的政策不一致是显而易见的。
*所有*政府政策都是一种诉讼策略。包括 Ripple 和 LBRY 执法行动。
Falcon Rappaport & 的律师马特·范伯格 (Matt Feinberg)伯克曼律师事务所补充道：
可能是。但那是因为他们认为证明它是一种商品更容易，这表明商品理论从实践的角度来看最有意义。还要记住，这是 DOJ 选择使用商品法，而不是 CFTC 执法行动。
