A US federal judge has thrown out 15 of the claims that Celsius Network's litigation administrator filed against blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis. One claim was not dismissed, so the case against Chainalysis goes on.
The claim that survived is for aiding and abetting. It says Chainalysis helped Celsius insiders break their fiduciary duties. It is tied to a disputed $3.3 billion audit connected to Celsius.
The report was published on October 1, 2026. It does not explain why the judge dismissed the other 15 claims, what exactly is disputed about the audit, or what happens next in the case. Those points are not yet known from this report.
For someone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this ruling changes nothing directly. The report does not mention any of these exchanges, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity. It is a court decision about a lawsuit tied to Celsius, not a change to how perpetual contracts are priced or held.
