Dutch court declared crypto platform Knaken bankrupt after €7 million in customer assets went missing. The Rotterdam court ruled bankruptcy necessary to ensure orderly settlement as the company lacked sufficient assets to repay users.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building a crypto exchange or custody platform in Europe, this ruling signals that national courts now treat missing customer funds as grounds for immediate bankruptcy—not civil recovery. You need segregated custody, real-time proof-of-reserves, and insurance before you launch in any EU jurisdiction.
