Bittrex US has become the latest entrant to a league that does not necessarily reflect a good position. Per the reports, the crypto exchange platform has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection as the latest step in the process of ceasing its operations in the US. The development comes days after Bittrex US informed its users to withdraw funds.
The news was announced by Bittrex US, reassuring the customers that the change does not affect Bittrex Global. It is only restricted to Bittrex US. The venture has committed to extending every type of support to its customers amid Chapter 11 filing in Delaware.
Bittrex US was previously sued by the SEC for failing to register with relevant authorities. Also, the lawsuit classified three tokens in specific as unregistered securities. These were ALGO, OMG, and DASH.
There are almost 100,000 creditors with no information about who is the biggest creditor on the list. Assets and liabilities of Bittrex US are said to fall in the range of $500 million and $1 billion. Moving forward, Omni Agent Solutions have been hired to provide updates to the community via website and email. There is no tentative timeline for how long the Chapter 11 case will last for the company.

As Bittrex US makes progress in Chapter 11 filing, customers can turn to the customer support service for any query they may have. The last date to withdraw funds, according to the previous announcement, was by the end of April 2023.
