The United States Supreme Court has overridden Coinbase’s user agreement, allowing district courts to settle sweepstakes disputes involving Dogecoin rewards.

美国最高法院推翻了 Coinbase 的用户协议，允许地方法院解决涉及狗狗币奖励的抽奖纠纷。

Crypto exchange Coinbase launched a Dogecoin (DOGE) sweepstakes promotional event in June 2021. The user agreement had conflicting clauses regarding dispute resolution.

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 于 2021 年 6 月推出了狗狗币（DOGE）抽奖促销活动。用户协议中关于争议解决的条款存在冲突。

Coinbase preferred arbitrators to resolve financial disputes, while users favored court intervention. Both options were separately outlined in the platform’s agreements.

Coinbase 更倾向于仲裁员来解决金融纠纷，而用户则倾向于法院干预。平台协议中分别概述了这两种选择。

On May 23, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state and federal courts will have sole jurisdiction over controversies regarding Coinbase’s sweepstakes promotion.

5 月 23 日，美国最高法院裁定，州法院和联邦法院对 Coinbase 抽奖活动的争议拥有唯一管辖权。

“We conclude that a court, not an arbitrator, must decide whether the parties’ first agreement was superseded by their second. The Ninth Circuit’s judgment is affirmed.”

“我们的结论是，必须由法院而不是仲裁员来决定双方的第一项协议是否被第二项协议取代。维持第九巡回法院的判决。”

In tandem, Justice Neil Gorsuch, nominated by President Donald Trump in 2017, highlighted that arbitration is a matter of contract. Additionally, he reminded:

与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普总统于 2017 年提名的尼尔·戈萨奇法官也强调仲裁是一个合同问题。此外，他还提醒：

“Parties (crypto exchanges and users) can agree by contract that an arbitrator, rather than a court, will resolve threshold arbitrability questions as well as underlying merits disputes.”

“各方（加密货币交易所和用户）可以通过合同同意由仲裁员而不是法院来解决可仲裁性问题以及潜在的实体争议。”

The Supreme Court finally refuted Coinbase’s previous claims that the court’s approach could “invite chaos” by facilitating challenges to delegation clauses. “We do not believe that such chaos will follow,” the ruling added.

最高法院最终驳斥了 Coinbase 之前的说法，即法院的做法可能会通过促进对授权条款的挑战来“引发混乱”。 “我们不相信这种混乱会随之而来，”裁决补充道。

Courts in the United States are not authorized to intervene in disputes when contracts contain an arbitration clause only.

当合同仅包含仲裁条款时，美国法院无权介入争议。

However, when users agree on two contracts — one sending arbitrability disputes to arbitration, and the other either explicitly or implicitly sending arbitrability disputes to the courts — a court must decide which contract governs.

然而，当用户同意两份合同时——一份将可仲裁性争议提交仲裁，另一份明确或暗示将可仲裁性争议提交法院——法院必须决定哪份合同适用。
