The token was recently trading at $1.96.

The exchange in a statement said that trading in locked assets, including LUSD and LETH, will remain so until the Seychelles court publishes the written court order.

In the proposed restructuring first laid out in September, CoinFLEX said that creditors would own 65% of the company and that Series A investors would lose their equity stakes.
