Conflict Erupts Between BiT Global and Coinbase Over WBTC

a year ago

Crypto exchange Coinbase faces a lawsuit from BiT Global over the controversial delisting of WBTC and the launch of a competing token, cbBTC.

Reasons for the Lawsuit

BiT Global has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, claiming $1 billion in damages, arguing that the delisting of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) was unlawful. Coinbase launched its cbBTC token instead, causing frustration at BiT Global.

We believe this decision sets a terrible precedent for everyone in the cryptocurrency space. If an exchange of Coinbase’s size can delist a cryptocurrency just as it plans to launch its own competing product, who’s safe? And who’s next?Kevin Kneupper of Kneupper & Covey

Crypto Community Reaction

Following the news of the WBTC delisting, protocols like Aave and Sky considered removing the token from their platforms, but restrictions were not implemented. Discussions emerged in the crypto community about the potential impact of such actions on the market.

Current Status of WBTC

Despite legal disputes, Wrapped Bitcoin remains a significant asset with a market capitalization of $13.7 billion, vastly exceeding its $8 billion valuation in mid-Q2 2024.

The ongoing conflict between BiT Global and Coinbase highlights the vulnerability of market players in the crypto space against dominant exchanges and the need for transparent and fair listing criteria.

The short-term technical outlook for LIT indicates a clear pattern of price movement, with a potential to reach 300 if the 255-260 resistance is breached. Currently, LIT is consolidating around the 245-250 range, suggesting a base-building phase. If critical support levels are maintained, there is a favorable setup for either a range-bound or mildly bullish continuation.
