Belgian digital asset service provider Keyrock plans to acquire the bankrupt cryptocurrency trading and lending platform BlockFills for $3.25 million, pending court approval. According to bankruptcy documents, Keyrock will acquire most of BlockFills' assets, some liabilities, customer lists, as well as proprietary technology and intellectual property. BlockFills filed for U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March this year, with reported assets between $50 million and $100 million, and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million. The company had previously suspended customer deposits and withdrawals and was seeking buyers or emergency financing. (CoinDesk)

Proprietary technology? Are there any core algorithms in BlockFills that Keyrock can't handle on its own? Just curious.

This price probably isn't even comparable to BlockFills' revenue for a month last year, a true reflection of the crypto winter.

The court approval is expected to take several months of haggling; creditor meetings and bidding processes won't be finalized that quickly.

Keyrock just raised Series B funding last year, now they're making acquisitions. Are they stockpiling assets in the bear market for the next bull run?

Chapter 11 is designed for this kind of acquisition, where the debtor sells off assets at low prices during the protection period. It's an old script.
