Webinar: What’s In Your Wallet? – Crypto in the Bankruptcy Courts
Reorganization under bankruptcy Chapter 11 is presently the only U.S. legal regime to resolve the failures of cryptocurrency platforms.  Among the high-profile crypto Chapter 11 cases in the last two years were Celsius and BlockFi.  To sort out unprecedented issues in those cases over the ownership of custodial and depository customers’ accounts, bankruptcy courts played unique roles in the unregulated and largely uninsured space of crypto exchanges.  This program’s panel will feature the insights of battle-tested legal counsel in those cases, as well as a discussion of new crypto risks that may find themselves in the bankruptcy courts. Participants will learn how to properly advise their clients of the risks in holding digital assets.
