FTX Approved to Start Selling Its $3.4 Billion Crypto Hoard
- FTX Plans to turn much of its digital currency into US dollars
- FTX sale begins before fight over ownership of crypto resolved
Since filing for bankruptcy last year, FTX advisors have been tracking down assets and untangle a web of debts owed to creditors.
Photographer: Lanna Apisukh/BloombergFTX Trading Ltd. won court approval to begin selling digital currency from its hoard of $3.4 billion worth of cryptoassets to raise money for creditors who claim they are owed tens of billions of dollars.
Sales are likely to begin even before a lawsuit challenging the company’s ownership of much of the cryptoassets is resolved. A group of non-US creditors backed the sale proposal even though their lawsuit argues that FTX does not own crypto that customers put on the FTX.com exchange.
