UK Supreme Court Rejects BSV Appeal, Limiting $13B Crypto Exchange Lawsuit

The UK Supreme Court has denied an appeal from claimants seeking to sue major cryptocurrency exchanges over the 2018 Bitcoin SV (BSV) hard fork. This decision significantly narrows the scope of a potential $13 billion lawsuit. The claimants, including Dr. Craig Wright, alleged that exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and Bittylicious delisted BSV, causing financial losses. The court's refusal to hear the appeal upholds a prior ruling that exchanges cannot be held liable for delisting decisions in this context. This landmark legal outcome reinforces the operational autonomy of crypto exchanges in the UK regarding asset listings and could set a precedent for similar cases globally, impacting the regulatory landscape for digital assets like BSV, BTC, and ETH.
