This varies by country, allowing companies to easily move to more flexible jurisdictions such as Cyprus and Malta.
The crisis surrounding BlockFills once again exposes how vulnerable the crypto market continues to be to poor risk management, inadequate oversight, and eroding trust.
For investors and institutional parties, transparency regarding reserves, counterparties, and oversight is crucial to assess whether this remains an isolated incident or not.
This marks the beginning of a new round of crypto bankruptcies with FTX-like proportions.
