Overview

A Seychelles court ordered KuCoin entities to pay a Swiss investor more than $2 million after ruling that the exchange could not treat 21 million delisted CHP tokens as abandoned. The dispute centers on these tokens, which the investor claims KuCoin has failed to return or compensate for. Despite the court judgment, KuCoin has not paid the awarded amount, prompting the investor to prepare additional legal proceedings. KuCoin has not publicly commented on the matter.
