In a landmark decision on May 23, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against crypto exchange Coinbase regarding a dispute related to a $1.2 million Dogecoin sweepstakes held in 2021. The Supreme Court stated that a California court had correctly exercised its authority to determine whether Coinbase could compel users into arbitration.
Supreme Court Deals Coinbase a Loss
In a ruling delivered on May 23 by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court held that a court, not an arbitrator, must decide which contract governs arbitration. The Supreme Court also rejected Coinbase's warning that a ruling against it would create legal uncertainty, as reported by Bloomberg Law.
The opinion in Coinbase v. Suski emphasized that arbitration is a matter of "contract and consent" and that when there are disputes over competing contracts, a court must determine the primary agreement between the parties.
