Crypto Industry News:
Judge Joel Cohen of the Supreme Court in New York approved the request of the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange to change the order of the New York Attorney General.
As announced, the court order will allow the Bitfinex stock exchange and the related stable coin Tether operator to continue its normal operations. The court also states that the prosecutor's original order expires in 90 days and that any request for extension will lie with the prosecutor's office.
The New York Attorney General originally claimed that Bitfinex lost $ 850 million, and then used the funds from Tether to cover the deficit in secret. Bitfinex then responded to the allegations stating that they were full of inaccuracies and false claims.
While the application will allow Bitfinex and Tether to continue operations, it also requires information about the loan and the credit line. Cohen's decision prohibits Tether from lending any assets to Bitfinex or other parties, distributing reserve funds to employees or modifying documents. In his announcement, Bitfinex was optimistic about the decision.
