New Jersey Drops Coinbase Lawsuit, Unlocks Staking After 3 Years
New Jersey has officially dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase, according to WatcherGuru. The move lets users in the state resume crypto staking for the first time in more than three years. It hands Coinbase back a slice of its staking business in a key US market.
New Jersey is done fighting Coinbase in court. The state officially dropped its lawsuit against the exchange, per a breaking post from WatcherGuru, and that clears the path for users there to start staking crypto again.
The pause ran long — more than three years, according to the outlet. For Coinbase customers in New Jersey, that meant no staking: no locking up tokens to help secure a network in exchange for rewards.
Now that door is back open. The lawsuit's dismissal removes the block that had kept staking off the table for those users since the case began over three years ago.
The news landed as a flash alert from WatcherGuru's X account, which flagged it as just in. Coinbase has been in the crosshairs of US state and federal regulators for years, and staking has been one of the recurring battlegrounds.
What happens next is straightforward for New Jersey users: staking can resume. The dismissal marks a win for Coinbase in the state, though the wider regulatory fight over crypto staking elsewhere is far from settled.
