The decision by the Supreme Court to hear this case marks a significant turning point for businesses that use arbitration provisions.
The US Supreme Court has taken up a case involving Coinbase and its users, focusing on a crucial procedural question of which contract should be arbitrated or judged in order to resolve conflicts.

Conflicting agreements between the parties—one promoting arbitration and the other courtroom litigation—are the root of this problem, according to a Bloomberg investigation.
Initially, Coinbase imposed arbitration terms to its customers, but a sweepstakes agreement that required California courts to hear disputes created a problem. In response to claims of misleading advertising, clients filed a class-action lawsuit against Coinbase, challenging the company’s customary arbitration procedure.
Lower courts opposed Coinbase’s attempts to advance arbitration. Supported by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, a federal judge in California upheld the sweepstakes agreement’s preference for in-court resolution. The company’s attempt to have the matter transferred to arbitration was therefore denied.

This judicial hesitancy is in contrast to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that sided 5–4 with Coinbase in a related case. Subsequently, the court decided to back the business’s attempts to put a stop to consumer claims while it attempted to have conflicts arbitrated.

Coinbase has acted decisively throughout this legal battle. The business has expanded its offerings by giving customers access to other trading choices. Retail clients who meet the eligibility requirements can now trade cryptocurrency futures, using contracts that are more easily accessible and reflect a smaller portion of the value of Ether and Bitcoin.
The decision by the Supreme Court to hear this case marks a significant turning point for businesses that use arbitration provisions. It also emphasizes how the court will still be involved in determining the parameters of what constitutes arbitration and litigation. The decision is expected to have an effect on the creation and implementation of user agreements, especially in the constantly changing field of virtual currency trading.
