Crypto & Blockchain Bankruptcy
The recent spate of crypto-related bankruptcies underscores the significant risk to consumers and brands in a rapidly evolving industry. Our Crypto & Blockchain Bankruptcy team can help investors navigate the “crypto winter.”
Our Focus
On top of seeing hundreds of billions of dollars in lost market value, the crypto industry is watching industry players seek bankruptcy protection in the US and abroad, with the recent FTX bankruptcy headlining a string of high-profile cross-border crypto restructurings in 2022. The fallout from these bankruptcies and the crypto “ice age” will likely reshape the industry and spur a new wave of legal disputes and regulatory scrutiny.
ArentFox Schiff’s Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring practice works closely with our industry-leading AI, Metaverse & Blockchain group to provide investors and other affected parties with creative solutions to these evolving challenges.
Our experienced, diverse, and comprehensive team enhances our services in sophisticated transactional and litigation matters. Companies and investors considering crypto-related opportunities should carefully evaluate potential partners to ensure they have robust legal and corporate compliance processes. Companies and investors exposed to bankrupt or distressed crypto-related businesses should consult a bankruptcy attorney to review their options and develop a strategy to protect gains and maximize recoveries. AFS also has experience advising companies with M&As and exits.
