DraftKings Settles $10M Lawsuit Over Unregistered NFTs
DraftKings has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for $10M over the sale of unregistered securities through its NFT marketplace.
The lawsuit, filed in March 2023, claimed that DraftKings' NFTs were investment contracts and should have been registered under US securities laws.
Lead plaintiff Justin Dufoe, who lost $14K in the NFT marketplace, is expected to receive a $50K award for his efforts in the case.
Such a settlement was reached after extensive mediation and discussions following DraftKings' NFT marketplace's closure, which rendered the digital assets worthless.
Also, regarding unregistered securities, the SEC recently dropped lawsuits against Kraken and Yuga Labs' BAYC, which dates back to before the Trump administration.
