Judgment Finds that Cryptocurrency Debts can be Used to Determine Whether a Company is Insolvent
By Tris Xavier
Singapore High Court determines that obligation to repay cryptocurrency counts as debts for determining the insolvency of a company under the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018. In the High Court decision of Loh Cheng Lee Aaron & Another v Hodlnaut Pte Ltd (Zhu Juntao And Others, Non Parties) [2023] SGHC 323, the High Court had occasion to consider whether an obligation to pay cryptocurrency debts to its creditors was a debt under section 125 of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (IRDA), such that the inability to repay such debts could form the basis for the winding up of a company.
