The United States Supreme Court has overridden Coinbase’s user agreement, granting district courts the authority to resolve sweepstakes disputes involving Dogecoin rewards.

美国最高法院推翻了 Coinbase 的用户协议，授予地区法院解决涉及狗狗币奖励的抽奖纠纷的权力。

In June 2021, Coinbase launched a Dogecoin sweepstakes promotional event. However, the user agreement contained conflicting clauses about dispute resolution. Coinbase favored arbitration for resolving financial disputes, while users preferred court intervention. Both options were separately detailed in the platform’s agreements.

2021年6月，Coinbase推出狗狗币抽奖促销活动。然而，用户协议包含有关争议解决的冲突条款。 Coinbase 倾向于通过仲裁来解决金融纠纷，而用户则倾向于法院干预。这两个选项在平台协议中分别详细说明。

On May 23, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state and federal courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over controversies related to 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 抽奖活动相关争议拥有专属管辖权。

“We conclude that a court, not an arbitrator, must decide whether the parties’ first agreement was superseded by their second.

“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。

“The Ninth Circuit’s judgment is affirmed.”

“维持第九巡回法院的判决。”

Justice Neil Gorsuch, nominated by President Donald Trump in 2017, emphasized that arbitration is a matter of contract.

2017 年唐纳德·特朗普总统提名的尼尔·戈萨奇大法官强调仲裁是合同问题。

He stated, “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.”

他表示，“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 dismissed Coinbase’s argument that the court’s approach could “invite chaos” by enabling challenges to delegation clauses.

最高法院驳回了 Coinbase 的论点，即法院的做法可能会因为对授权条款提出质疑而“引发混乱”。

“We do not believe that such chaos will follow,” the ruling added.

“我们不相信这种混乱会随之而来，”裁决补充道。

In the U.S., courts are not authorized to intervene in disputes when contracts exclusively contain an arbitration clause.

在美国，当合同仅包含仲裁条款时，法院无权干预纠纷。

However, when users agree to two contracts—one directing arbitrability disputes to arbitration and the other, either explicitly or implicitly, directing them 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，另一份明确或暗示地将争议提交法院——法院必须决定哪份合同适用。
