In September, Bitcoin.com News detailed Swan Bitcoin’s legal action against former employees, alleging they misappropriated the company’s trade secrets. The lawsuit further claims these individuals held secret meetings with Tether before their resignation. According to the filing, the stablecoin issuer allegedly agreed to back Proton following their departure from Swan, including providing “legal cover.”

A recent report from the crypto outlet Blockspace Media reveals that Tether has filed a lawsuit against Swan, alleging the company acted “recklessly.” Blockspace verified the legal action with Swan, and a spokesperson for the firm reportedly stated that it plans to “vigorously defend all its rights.” Meanwhile, a Tether spokesperson shared additional comments with the publication stating:

Throughout our relationship with Swan, Tether has consistently acted in good faith, supported mutual business objectives, and adhered to all relevant agreements. Conversely, Swan has acted recklessly and their actions have resulted in significant breaches by them of the agreements between us. Consequently, we have been compelled to take necessary measures to protect our investment.

The legal confrontation between Tether and Swan Bitcoin reflects the high-stakes environment in the cryptocurrency sector, where intellectual property and strategic alliances can become flashpoints. Such disputes often highlight the intricate dynamics between market players, as firms navigate competitive pressures while safeguarding proprietary knowledge and partnerships in an industry defined by rapid innovation and evolving regulatory frameworks.
