A Lift-Stay Motion is a formal legal request submitted in bankruptcy court by a creditor seeking to terminate or modify the automatic stay that typically prohibits collection actions against a debtor. In crypto bankruptcy cases, this motion allows creditors to pursue specific claims against digital assets.
Mechanism
Upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay generally prevents creditors from initiating or continuing actions to recover debts or collateral. A creditor files a Lift-Stay Motion, often asserting that their interest in specific collateral, such as pledged digital assets, lacks adequate protection, or that the debtor possesses no equity in the property and it is not essential for an effective reorganization.
Methodology
The strategic approach for creditors involves demonstrating a clear and compelling legal justification for lifting the stay, frequently requiring detailed digital asset tracing, precise valuation, and robust legal arguments regarding collateral rights within a digital asset context. This framework aims to expedite recovery or secure preferential treatment for specific claims, bypassing the often-protracted general distribution process in complex crypto insolvency proceedings.
