LIVEA Singapore court has issued an order to freeze S$75 million in Bitcoin and USD Coin. The decision comes after a crypto trading platform reported a significant internal ledger error. This glitch reportedly caused the platform to accidentally credit thousands of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to user accounts.
The exchange claims these funds were transferred in error and is now seeking to recover the assets. The court order ensures that these specific digital funds remain locked while the legal case proceeds. This move highlights the risks associated with technical errors on centralized platforms.
This situation serves as a reminder of how quickly legal systems can intervene in digital asset disputes. Traders should keep an eye on how the court handles the recovery process, as the outcome could set a precedent for how exchanges manage internal ledger mistakes in the future.
