What happens next for the project, users, and the MOVE token

Token holders, partners, and users are likely to watch for how the restructuring treats their interests, though the court record referenced here does not spell out those outcomes. The process can take months, and the eventual result depends on decisions still ahead.
The path forward remains uncertain, and no resolution has been confirmed in the available filing.
