The US Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling on Thursday by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, resolved a dispute against crypto exchange company Coinbase, rooted in a 2021 Dogecoin sweepstakes. The high-profile case, referred to as Coinbase, Inc. v. Suski, involved discord surrounding the allocation of the proceedings, whether to a court or an arbitrator.
The Supreme Court’s latest verdict came as a second visit for the case; the court had formerly ruled, in 2023’s case of Coinbase, Inc. v. Bielsk, that the proceedings in trial court should be postponed while the arbitration question was being tackled.
The case revolves around sweepstakes that consumers claim they were deceived into paying $100 to enter. More details about the case can be found in the original article.
