Bankruptcy Court Backs Bittrex in Cryptocurrency Freeze Dispute

This article was published more than a year ago. Some information may no longer be current.

The bankruptcy proceedings of Bittrex Inc. involved a legal dispute over claims filed by Azim Ghader, who sought recovery for lost profits and damages after his cryptocurrency was frozen on the Bittrex exchange in 2017. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware found that Bittrex had complied with legal requirements and upheld the objections to most of Ghader’s claims. The court allowed only a fraction of his initial claims, amounting to $4,000 in cryptocurrency value. The decision highlighted the enforceability of Bittrex’s terms of service, which limited liability and barred most of Ghader’s claims for damages.
