Crypto trading firm BlockFills has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States as it seeks to restructure its business and stabilize operations. Court filings show the company has assets between $50 million and $1 billion and liabilities ranging from $100 million to $500 million.
The filing was submitted on March 15, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The restructuring process comes after BlockFills suspended customer deposits and withdrawals in February while dealing with financial pressure and legal issues tied to alleged asset misappropriation involving Dominion Capital.
In a statement shared by the company, BlockFills said filing for Chapter 11 was the most responsible step after discussions with investors, clients, and creditors.
The firm said the court-supervised process will allow it to restructure its operations, stabilize the business, and explore new sources of liquidity while continuing to engage with stakeholders.
Court documents show that BlockFills expects between 1,000 and 5,000 creditors as part of the bankruptcy proceedings. Meanwhile, the 30 largest unsecured claims exceed $119 million, with most classified as unliquidated customer claims.
The largest creditor listed in the filings is 007 Capital LLC, which holds a claim of about $17 million. Other major claims include the Richard E Ward Revocable Trust with $9.4 million and Artha Investment Partners LLC with $6.9 million.
The creditor list includes both institutional investors and retail participants from the global crypto market.
BlockFills also revealed details about its ownership structure.
The largest disclosed shareholder is K&H Crypto LLC, which holds roughly 17% equity. Two additional shareholders each hold 25% stakes, although their identities remain confidential in the court filings.
Other institutional investors include Susquehanna Private Equity Investments with 5%, P3K LLC with 9%, and CME Ventures with about 2%.
BlockFills said the Chapter 11 process will help the company work on a restructuring plan with clients and creditors while also exploring strategic options. The firm added that protecting client interests remains a top priority, and it will keep working with investors and customers during the process.
The Chicago-based crypto trading platform plans to share more updates as the bankruptcy case moves forward.
Despite its current financial challenges, BlockFills had grown into a major institutional player, reporting over $61 billion in trading volume in 2025 and serving around 2,000 institutional clients, including hedge funds and asset managers.
