FTX Reboot Might Happen As Early As Q2

On Tuesday, the committee of unsecured creditors of FTX announced that they had begun working with the debtors to analyze all of the potential options to either reboot or sell the FTX exchanges in order to produce value for its creditors. And, although there hasn’t been any official timetable for the reboot, John J. Ray III has hinted at Q2 of this year in a previous court filing.

As reported earlier on CoinGape, FTX CEO plans to decide during the second quarter whether or not it is possible to resume the exchange. Additionally, according to the monthly fee filings submitted by FTX’s lawyers for the month of February, attorneys were found to be working on a variety of issues connected to the initiative.

These issues included meeting with Sygnia Inc. — the security firm that advised FTX after the platform was hacked in November — on potential reboot concerns, tax repercussions and email exchanges with advisors regarding the “development of mock-up exchange to evaluate user experience.”
