This procedural dismissal is a modest positive for Bakkt — the judgment on the pleadings stands — but the case is not over; Project Labrador can re-appeal after a final judgment. Monitor the Superior Court for resolution of the attorney-fee motion and any subsequent final judgment.

Executive Summary
The Delaware Supreme Court dismissed Project Labrador Holdco's interlocutory appeal of a Superior Court ruling that granted Bakkt Opco Holdings judgment on the pleadings, because the attorney-fee motion remains pending and Project Labrador did not comply with Rule 42 for interlocutory appeals. This procedural dismissal does not resolve the underlying merits — Bakkt's win on the pleadings stands for now, but Project Labrador can appeal again after a final judgment. The cross-filing actuarial verdicts flag this as an amplifier combo, but the content itself is procedural — not a merits win — so the standalone impact is low.
