According to a report from The Standard, Fetch.ai lost £16.7 million during the widespread cryptocurrency price crash from 2021 to 2022 and had to write down its assets by £231 million. Despite a price recovery for FET in 2023, the company was still sued by former contractors. Fetch.ai paid approximately $1 million (including interest) to the contractors who claimed they were owed 750,000 unpaid FET tokens as part of a transaction. The company was plagued by "financial difficulties" and was placed under administration by court order to save the business. Being placed under administration means that a third party unrelated to the company gains control and investigates the financial situation before proposing a way forward. For Fetch.ai, after formally filing for bankruptcy, administrators from ReSolve were appointed to oversee the process.
