Coin World reported that U.S. District Judge Brodie in Brooklyn, New York, ruled that the $5.6 billion settlement reached in 2019 regarding credit card transaction fees does not apply to a new round of charges against Visa (V.N) for monopolizing the debit card market. Although there is overlap between the two sets of cases, the facts in the new case 'substantially differ' from those in the earlier case. Brodie's ruling pertains to a lawsuit filed by merchants against Visa last October, which contains allegations similar to those in a case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice in federal court in Manhattan the previous month. Brodie's ruling means that Visa will likely have to face antitrust lawsuits brought by both the federal government and private enterprises in the coming years.
