   Coinbase Scores Victory with Supreme Court Ruling on Federal
   Arbitration Act - Litigation Finance Journal
   Litigation Finance Journal recently reported that Coinbase became the
   first US-based cryptocurrency company to argue a case in front of the
   Supreme Court. The June decision has been announced, and with a 5-4
   majority in favor of Coinbase, the high court ruled “that an
   interlocutory appeal about one matter (arbitrability) bars the district
   court from proceeding on another (the merits).”
   CoinDesk says the ruling is a distinct legal victory for Coinbase, one
   that could impact future lawsuits against all companies in the United
   States. For over a century, the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) has been
   part of user agreements to protect corporations from risk and expense
   associated with court battles to resolve customer claims. The decision
   does not represent any high-court conclusions on cryptocurrencies,
   outside of Coinbase being one of the associated parties.
   A lower court decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern
   District of California denied Coinbase’s arbitration agreement
   approach. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit denied Coinbase’s motion to halt
   hearings while appeal is in progress.
   The Supreme Court’s decision in favor of Coinbase effectively stays any
   trial proceedings while appeal is in progress.
