A Cayman Islands court has issued an injunction preventing Maple Finance from launching its new bitcoin product, syrupBTC, following a legal challenge. The Core Foundation claims Maple used confidential information from their joint development of IstBTC to create syrupBTC, allegedly breaching an exclusivity agreement. Maple, which oversees over $3 billion in assets, refutes these claims, asserting syrupBTC was independently developed. The company plans to return 85% of principal to BTC yield lenders, with the remaining 15% contingent on the legal outcome. Industry leaders stress the importance of DeFi products adhering to legal contracts and ensuring asset protection.
