An appeal over exactly how much money BSV investors can recover from a group of digital asset exchanges Accused of illegally meeting of delisting BSV took place in London this week, with the representative of the BSV investor class and claimed that the impact on BSV’s growth should give the right to more than $ 9 billion (£ 11.9 billion) in damages.
The claim was originally raised against four exchanges –BittyliciousThe The collarThe Form shiftand Binance—Over their notification of BSV from their platforms in 2019. According to BSV Claim’s Limited Limited, the leading applicant, representing more than 200,000 BSV investors affected by the note, the exchange Illegally entered into a competitive agreement that effectively prevented, limited or distorted competition in the UK in violation of the UK’s competition law in 1998.
BSV -Hävdar Limited claims that due to the notes, the price of BSV fell, which caused damage to asset holders. Perhaps most important of all is that it claims that the delisting also deprived BSV the opportunity to develop into the highest digital asset, which further robs BSV holders of an expected increase in future value. According to an expert report from Oxera Economics, the total damage of up to $ 9.9 billion ($ 13 billion) is estimated.
The Appeal Tribunal (Cat) competition certified claim in 2024, which means that the case was given green light for trial. At that certification negotiation, however, the cat decided that BSV holders were obliged to mitigate their losses by exchanging BSV for another digital asset when they became aware of the delisting, drastically limited the damage that could be recycled for the “previous growth” by BSV as an asset.
In essence, the cat decided that BSV holders covered by CPO who could at most recover the difference between the price of BSV at the time of the delisting and the time the holders were conscious – or should have been aware – of the notification.
BSV claims limited has appealed against the aspect of the decision, which was the subject of this week’s hearing.
The appellate court seemed to be brushing at the figures offered by the expert financial report provided to the cat, which suggested that if not for the anotations, BSV may be worth enough to put its recyclable damage to billions. They also questioned the extent to which assets kept on the delusion of exchanges were completely lost, and how practical it was for holders to use their private keys to sell them on another exchange.
Wardell KC for BSV claims claimed that these issues – whether it is a suitable alternative for BSV at all, at which time the holder should have known about the listings and if BSV holders may have had a legitimate reason to hold on to their investments – would not have been rejected without the benefit of a full trial. This is especially so, it was argued, given that digital assets are a still developing area of law.
The power of BSV claims that the argument is clear. Unlike other markets, where investments can be very fungable, an investment is usually made in a digital access for a specific reason. A buyer of BSV is not just trying to enter any digital asset investment: the purchase is probably made with a certain investment thesis that does not apply to other digital assets. To propose that BSV holders at the time of the notification could simply have changed BSV for another coin is more detailed to suggest that an investor in timber could have mitigated their losses by replacing it for shares: they are completely different assets. For BSV investors, BSV is the only show in town.
However, the cat seems to see the digital asset market as a simple organism that contains only superficial assets.
Complicating the hearing was what the High Court seemed to consider that the written decision of the cat was poorly articulated, which affected the quality of the parties’ written submissions today.
The Court reserves its judgment, which means that it will be handed over at a later date.
Regardless of the result of the appeal hearing, BSV Investor Class action will thin against trial. It is simply a question of how much money the exchanges will be on the hook if they lose at the trial.
