Wu said that the Lingling District Court of Yongzhou City recently concluded a dispute over unjust enrichment caused by the failure of virtual currency to repay debts. In 2020, Yang entrusted Xie to hold the virtual currency of a certain platform through WeChat transfer of 78,000 yuan. Later, Yang asked to withdraw the investment. Xie transferred 3,000 virtual currencies to Yang's account and said that he would settle the account later. In 2021, Yang sued Xie to the court. After mediation by the court, Xie returned 57,000 yuan and tried to use virtual currency to offset the remaining debt of more than 20,000 yuan, but Yang did not agree. Xie then asked Yang to return the cash equivalent of virtual currency. Because the platform was closed and could not be returned, he sued Yang to the court. The court held that virtual currency did not have the status of legal tender, was not legal compensation, and the two parties had not reached an agreement on the amount of compensation. After the judgment rejected the claim, Xie did not accept the appeal, and the second instance upheld the original judgment.
