Dapper Labs has lost its bid to have a class action lawsuit dismissed that claims NBA Top Shot NFTs are securities.
Dapper Labs argues that they are not securities but collectibles akin to cardboard basketball cards, and asked that the case be tossed. A key part of the judge's ruling is based upon the collection's use of the Flow blockchain created by Dapper Labs for its NFT projects. While Dapper argued that Flow is now a community-controlled, permissionless blockchain, the judge didn't buy it.
"Importantly, today's order — which the court described as a 'close call — only denied the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint at the pleading stage of the case," Dapper Labs told CoinMarketCap Alexandria via email. "It did not conclude the plaintiffs were right, and it is not a final ruling on the merits of the case.
