MVMT Labs files for bankruptcy
MVMT Labs, the company behind the Movement blockchain, has filed for bankruptcy, reporting assets of between $100,001 and $500,000 against liabilities of between $1 million and $10 million. The largest unsecured claim, at more than $1.6 million, belongs to co-founder Rushi Manche — whom the company fired in May 2025 after an investigation into the MOVE token launch.Movement was an Ethereum layer-2 built on Move, the language originally developed for Facebook's dead Libra stablecoin project. It raised tens of millions, including a $38 million Series A led by Polychain in April 2024, before its December 2024 token launch went sideways. The firm opted to give an obscure market maker called Rentech control of 66 million $MOVE, or around 5% of supply, which they promptly dumped, crashing the price.The Movement blockchain will reportedly continue on under a new company called Move Industries, and pivot away from Ethereum scaling and towards stablecoin operations.
