Summary
Movement Labs said its Chapter 11 filing lists under 1,000 creditors, $100,000-$500,000 in assets and more than $1 million in liabilities.
A market-making agreement came under scrutiny after it allowed 66 million MOVE tokens to be sold a day after launch, helping drive a sharp price drop and triggering investigations.
Binance later banned the market-making account for misconduct, while Movement launched a token buyback and hired Groom Lake to review the deal.
The bankruptcy caps months of governance disputes and a failed reset; a separate entity, Move Industries, shifted in June toward cross-border payments and stablecoin settlement.
