NewsletterFTX Eyes Three Bidders for Crypto Exchange Revival
FTX Trading Ltd., once a dominant force in the crypto exchange arena, is now meticulously weighing options post-bankruptcy. Kevin M. Cofsky, the firm’s investment banker from Perella Weinberg Partners, unveiled during a Wilmington, Delaware, court hearing that the company would determine its path forward by mid-December. Moreover, discussions are in full swing about potentially binding offers with multiple investors.
Significantly, the options on the table vary. They range from selling the entire exchange, inclusive of its valuable roster of over 9 million customers, to the possibility of partnering with another entity to breathe life back into the platform. Kevin M. Cofsky should have considered FTX independently rebooting its trading platform. He stated, “We are engaging with multiple parties every day,” however, the bidders’ identities remain undisclosed.
FTX Plans Recovery After Bankruptcy Woes
After declaring bankruptcy in the preceding year, FTX has made earnest attempts to generate funds for repaying its creditors. Hence, according to the court documents, FTX administrators have commendably managed to recover about $7 billion in assets. This sum includes a staggering $3.4 billion in cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, Andrew Dietderich, the company attorney, revealed in the court that some of the thorniest disputes with main creditor groups have found a tentative resolution. Consequently, this enables FTX to implement a comprehensive payout plan come December. However, the exact recovery percentage for customers remains uncertain and will largely depend on the value derived from either selling the exchange or its revival.
Legal Trouble for FTX’s Bankman-Fried
FTX’s trajectory detracted when its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, stepped down as CEO. The resignation followed after FTX had to halt its trading platform amidst financial upheavals. Currently, Bankman-Fried faces a trial in New York. He is accused of misdirecting FTX customer funds to another firm under his control. Allegedly, these funds fueled high-stakes trades, significant political donations, and acquisitions of luxury properties before both businesses’ downfall.
