On Aug. 10, Celsius, a defunct cryptocurrency exchange, filed a lawsuit against Tether, claiming the digital assets company had misappropriated assets.


The lawsuit sought $3.5 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) returns, damages and legal fees, alleging that Tether loaned the defunct exchange a specific amount of USDT.


In exchange for the loan during Celsius’ bankruptcy proceedings, Celsius sent Tether 39,543.42 BTC to be used as collateral.


Celsius claims that Tether liquidated the BTC at a price that almost exactly covered the debt without allowing it to provide additional collateral.
