Where this case stands
In litigation
The case has been filed and is being fought in court. There is no settlement, no claim form and no payout yet; many class actions are dismissed or never certified.
Pending in the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (No. 26-11695).
- May 14, 2026Case filed
What happened
A group of individuals petitioned for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court order that would have compelled them to arbitrate their claims against Binance Holdings Limited. The Eleventh Circuit granted the petition and directed the district court to vacate the arbitration order, allowing the plaintiffs to proceed with what appears to be litigation rather than arbitration.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
