Prime Trust files for bankruptcy

After the Nevada Financial Institutions Division issued a cease and desist describing Prime Trust as insolvent in June, then successfully requested the company be placed into receivership days later, it's no huge surprise that Prime Trust has filed for bankruptcy.

Prime Trust is a crypto custodian that previously served companies including Binance US, Swan Bitcoin, and BitGo. Just a year ago, the company announced they had raised $100 million in a Series B funding round, and planned to add crypto retirement accounts to its list of products. It's probably a good thing that didn't pan out.

According to bankruptcy documents, Prime Trust has between $50 million and $100 million in assets, but between $100 million and $500 million in liabilities. They report having between 25,000 and 50,000 creditors.
