- BlockFills is considering restructuring after losses in lending, trading and mining forced it to suspend withdrawals and exposed accounting issues.
- Dominion Capital has filed a lawsuit alleging the platform mishandled and commingled client assets, prompting a US court to issue a temporary restraining order.
- Financial disclosures show a near US$80 million balance sheet deficit, alongside losses tied to failed lending exposures and a shut-down crypto mining venture.
Crypto lender and trading platform BlockFills is weighing a restructuring after a series of financial setbacks and accounting problems led the company to halt customer withdrawals and triggered legal action from a client.
The Chicago-based firm, which counts Susquehanna among its backers, has approached consultancy BRG and law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman for guidance as it attempts to reorganise its operations and secure new capital.
BlockFills suspended withdrawals after suffering losses related to lending activity and unsuccessful investments in crypto mining. The company has since disclosed that earlier financial statements contained inaccuracies, meaning management decisions were made using flawed financial data.
At the same time, Dominion Capital has launched a lawsuit alleging the firm mishandled customer assets. A Manhattan federal judge granted a temporary restraining order that prevents BlockFills from moving certain assets while the dispute is reviewed by the court.
Dominion’s complaint claims the platform commingled client funds and retained crypto assets belonging to customers after withdrawals were suspended. The firm also argued that the court order was needed to protect assets held on the platform.

The company recorded approximately US$23 million (AU$32.9 million) in losses tied to lending exposure to bankrupt firms including Babel Finance and Aexa Digital Finance, while its mining venture generated nearly US$30 million (AU$42.9 million) in losses before being closed.
