Keyrock is acquiring the bankrupt crypto lending company BlockFills for $3.25 million

According to CoinDesk, Belgian digital asset service company Keyrock is acquiring the bankrupt crypto trading and lending company BlockFills for $3.25 million, pending court approval. Keyrock will take on "almost all" of BlockFills' assets, some liabilities, partial equity, client lists, as well as proprietary technology and intellectual property. BlockFills filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, reporting liabilities of $100 million to $500 million, with assets of only $50 million to $100 million.

This acquisition will allow Keyrock to gain access to BlockFills' network of institutional clients, including hedge funds, asset management firms, market makers, and mining companies. Keyrock completed a Series C funding round last year led by SC Ventures, a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank, with a valuation of $1.1 billion, and acquired Luxembourg-based fund management company Turing Capital last fall.
