Analysis
Binance , along with exchanges like Kraken, faces a lawsuit at London’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT). The case has been filed on behalf of more than 200,000 owners of Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV). Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) is a cryptocurrency that emerged as a result of a hard fork from Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in November 2018. It was developed with the intention of upholding the original bitcoin concept as stated by its anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Attorneys for BSV Claims, the organisation formed to take up the lawsuit, claim that by delisting BSV in 2019, the exchanges participated in anti-competitive action. They contend that by taking this step, BSV’s value fell and its chances of becoming into a “top-tier” cryptocurrency were hampered. The claim’s worth for this section is as high as nine billion pounds.
