Coinbase Cuts Losses—$1.2M Dogecoin Sweepstakes Lawsuit Settled After 2-Year Battle
Coinbase Cuts Losses—$1.2M Dogecoin Sweepstakes Lawsuit Settled After 2-Year Battle

Another day, another crypto legal drama resolved—quietly, of course. Coinbase just settled its infamous Dogecoin sweepstakes lawsuit for a cool $1.2 million, dodging further courtroom theatrics.
Background: Back in 2023, users accused the exchange of running a ’rigged’ DOGE giveaway. Now, payouts are incoming—though we’re betting the lawyers got the fattest bags.
Why it matters: Regulatory scrutiny’s tighter than a Bitcoin maximalist’s grip on their cold wallet. This settlement lets Coinbase sidestep setting a precedent—smart move before the next SEC ambush.
Bonus cynicism: Nothing says ’decentralized future’ like settling in good old-fashioned fiat. The irony’s thicker than a Wall Street banker’s bonus.
