The case arose in 2021 when an NBA Top Shot collector sued Dapper Labs, claiming that the NBA Top Shot NFTs, known as “Moments” issued via the Flow blockchain, are securities. Judge’s Ruling Allows Friel v. Dapper Labs Case to Continue United States District Court judge Victor Marrero agreed with the plaintiffs who filed a lawsuit against Dapper Labs on Feb. 22, 2023, noting that NBA Top Shot NFTs could plausibly be unregistered securities in the eyes of the law.
