Celsius claims Tether liquidated its bitcoin collateral—worth $4.3B—before the agreed 10-hour waiting period expired.
Judge Glenn ruled that an alleged verbal OK from Celsius’ ex-CEO wasn’t enough to bypass the contract’s terms.
The judge dismissed one count under BVI law, but Celsius can refile if it presents more evidence.
Tether denies wrongdoing, saying the suit tries to “impose Celsius' mismanagement” on the stablecoin firm.
