An FTX Revival??

FTX Could Restart Crypto Exchange in December, Negotiating With Three Bidders to Restart Trading 🤯

What ya need to know:

• FTX Trading Ltd., which sank into bankruptcy amid fraud allegations last year, is considering proposals from three bidders to restart trading on what had been one of the world's biggest crypto exchanges.

• The company will make a decision about how to proceed by mid-December.

• Options include selling the entire exchange, including a valuable list of more than 9 million customers, or bringing in a partner to help restart the exchange.

• FTX is also mulling a reboot of the trading platform on its own.

FTX and Main Creditor Groups Tentatively Settle Disputes

• FTX and its main creditor groups have tentatively settled some of the most difficult disputes in the case, which will allow the company to file a detailed payout plan in December.

• The recovery percentage for customers will in part depend on how much value FTX can get from a potential sale, or reboot, of the exchange.

An SBF Refresher: Currently on Trial for Fraud

• SBF resigned as chief executive last year after the company shut down the trading platform to deal with financial turmoil.

• Bankman-Fried is currently on trial in New York on charges that he funneled FTX customer money into another firm he controlled.

• That money was allegedly used to make risky trades, political donations and to buy expensive property before both companies collapsed.

TLDR; FTX (once the world’s second largest exchange) could be restarted with its valuable list of 9 million customers, and the company will consider bids by mid-December.
