Poolin, a once-prominent cryptocurrency mining pool operator, has initiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States as part of efforts to dispose of its Texas-based facilities and conclude its activities. Court documents indicate the debtors face estimated liabilities ranging from $100 million to $500 million, with assets valued between $1 million and $10 million. The bulk of this—around $163.7 million—stems from unsecured IOUs provided to Poolin Wallet users following the suspension of withdrawals amid the 2022 cryptocurrency market decline. Rather than pursuing a traditional reorganization to continue as a going concern, the bankruptcy aims to enable a supervised sale of assets. Poolin originated in China in 2017 and grew to become one of the leading global mining pools by 2019.
