Bitcoin SV (BSV) investors are appealing to the UK Court of Appeal to reinstate a claim against Binance, contending that the exchange's delisting of BSV in April 2019 resulted in over $13 billion in lost potential growth. This initiative follows the Competition Appeal Tribunal's previous ruling in July 2024, which dismissed the investors' claim regarding a 'forgone growth effect,' suggesting that most could have mitigated losses by trading BSV for other cryptocurrencies. The investors' legal representatives argued that the ongoing losses from the delisting continue to harm their assets. Advocates claim that without the delisting, BSV could have reached values similar to Bitcoin's. Binance's lawyers countered that BSV's marketability meant investors had alternate trading options. The case is part of a broader class action against multiple exchanges, marking the UK’s first collective case involving cryptocurrencies and competition laws. The investors, represented by BSV Claims Limited, include an estimated 243,000 BSV holders in the UK from the period between April 2019 and July 2022.
