Main Idea
A lawsuit filed by Celsius against Tether for $4 billion in Bitcoin will proceed, with the court rejecting Tether's attempts to dismiss key parts of the case, focusing on Tether's sale of Bitcoin below market value and alleged failure to return collateral.
Key Points
1. The lawsuit centers on Tether's sale of 39,542 Bitcoin in June 2022 below market value, causing over $100 million in losses, and the alleged non-return of 15,600 Bitcoin posted as extra collateral.
