CoinMarketCap OpCo, LLC, et al. v. Ryan Cox

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 23-15363 · judgment August 12, 2024


Certiorari denied · June 30, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 5%–9%)

Before the decision, about 1.6× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and a business petitioner.

Question presented

Throughout the United States Code, Congress has enacted special venue and nationwide service-ofprocess provisions in multiple federal statutes. The Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. § 25(c), contains such paired provisions, which are “virtually indistinguishable” from the same provisions found in the antitrust and securities statutes. App., infra, 14a. The question presented is: Whether defendants are subject to personal jurisdiction in every judicial district nationwide by virtue of the nationwide service provision, even where the corresponding special venue provision is not satisfied.
