According to transcripts shared by industry legal experts on Twitter, the lead judge directly questioned BSV representatives about the ability to mine Bitcoin SV (BSV), to which BSV Claims responded with uncertainty before affirming. This exchange highlights ongoing legal scrutiny over BSV's operational validity and mining mechanics, which could influence trader sentiment and the BSV token's market liquidity. Such judicial attention may increase regulatory pressure and affect BSV's standing among top proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, impacting both short-term trading opportunities and long-term investor confidence (source: @BitMEXResearch, court transcripts).

According to BitMEX Research, during a recent court session, the judge remarked that BSV Claims' clients have been open about reporting their losses, which prompted laughter in the courtroom (source: BitMEX Research, May 8, 2025). This public acknowledgment of losses by BSV investors underscores persistent challenges facing Bitcoin SV and may increase negative sentiment, potentially affecting BSV price action and trading volumes. Traders should monitor BSV-related legal proceedings closely, as ongoing litigation and market perception could lead to heightened volatility in BSV and related altcoins.
