Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex Inc received court permission Wednesday to borrow $7 million in bitcoin to fund the start of its Chapter 11 case. Bittrex filed for bankruptcy Monday, saying it intended to return customer funds and wind down its U.S. operations. The company's international affiliates will continue to operate crypto exchanges for customers outside of the U.S. Before filing for bankruptcy, Bittrex stopped accepting new deposits from U.S. customers and told its existing users to withdraw their crypto from the platform. Bittrex believes that it has enough cryptocurrency to fully repay all remaining customers.
