- Investors seek revival of $13.3B claim over BSV delisting.
- Led by BSV Claims Ltd under Lord David Currie.
- Case could set precedent in UK crypto law.
BSV Claims Ltd seeks to revive a $13.3 billion class-action lawsuit against Binance and others over Bitcoin SV’s 2019 delisting.
The case’s reinstatement could significantly impact investor protections and set new standards within UK crypto law.
BSV Claims Ltd Pushing $13.3B Lawsuit Revival
BSV Claims Ltd, led by Lord David Currie, has filed to revive a $13.3 billion lawsuit. The claim addresses alleged collusion by major exchanges in delisting Bitcoin SV in April 2019.
The lawsuit implicates Binance , Kraken, Bittylicious, and ShapeShift. They are accused of harming investors by artificially suppressing BSV prices. Legal actions claim unlawful market manipulation occurred.
BSV Price Jumps 40% After Binance Relisting
The relisting of BSV on Binance in October 2023 led to a 40% price surge. As of July 31, 2024, BSV was up 14% in one week, showing positive market response.
If upheld, the case could bolster UK crypto regulations, ensuring exchanges adhere to competition laws. It might impact exchange delisting policies and investor confidence significantly.
“This is a significant day for UK BSV holders. The CAT ruled that BSV Claims can argue its case that cryptocurrency exchanges are subject to the same competition laws as other companies. BSV Claims hopes this case will strengthen investor protection as well as enhance the UK’s status as a jurisdiction at the forefront of cryptoasset law.” – Lord David Currie, Baron Currie of Marylebone, BSV Claims Ltd
Past Delisting Events Impacted Market Stability
Similar events, like the 2019 BSV delisting, previously affected asset liquidity and garnered legal scrutiny. Historically, coordinated delistings result in market instability and investor losses.
Experts suggest that if the claim succeeds, it may prompt exchanges to re-evaluate delisting criteria. Such outcomes emphasize investor rights and could reshape global trading practices.
