According to BitMEX Research, the ongoing BSV appeal could significantly increase the original £8.9 billion claim, as it was calculated using the July 2022 Bitcoin price. Since Bitcoin has appreciated considerably since then, the claim at trial could potentially double or exceed the initial figure, presenting substantial financial risk for exchanges involved. Traders should monitor this legal development closely, as a larger claim could lead to increased volatility and liquidity shifts in both Bitcoin and BSV markets.
