U.S. House Committee To Hold Hearing

As per reports, a hearing on the demise of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX is scheduled to take place in December by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.

The committee’s chair and ranking member, Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), said in a joint statement that the lawmakers would be interested in learning more about the demise of FTX and its broader ramifications for the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

The FTX Fiasco

As reported earlier on CoinGape, FTX financed Alameda Research, its affiliated trading firm, billions of dollars worth of customer assets to finance risky trades, paving the way for its sudden collapse. With only $1 Billion in liquid assets, it failed to bridge the gap and eventually had to file for bankruptcy.

However, as per recent news, SBF is still not ready to give up as he’s planning to raise alternate sources of funding in a dire attempt to resurrect his debt-ridden FTX crypto exchange.
