Barclays halting sales and issuance of VXX shares

S.D. New York
Court

Class period End
On March 14th 2022, Barclays announced it had temporarily suspended the sales and issuance of VXX shares.

This led the price to spike by nearly 60% by the next day which caused significant losses to short sellers.

The bank’s failure to more quickly disclose that it had exceeded the number of VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) that it had permission to sell violated federal securities law.

This failure led to the sudden halt of share sales and ultimately the price spike.
