UK judges rejected a $11.9 billion claim from BSV investors, ruling that they could have mitigated losses after Binance and others had delisted the token. The United Kingdom’s Court of Appeal partially dismissed a lawsuit brought by Bitcoin SV investors against major crypto exchanges, including Binance, for allegedly conspiring to delist the token in 2019.
