The FTX CEO, however, has refrained from declaring bankruptcy and has been attempting to secure $9.4 billion in new finance. The regulator of the Bahamas stated in its statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe commission is aware of public statements suggesting that clients\u2019 assets were mishandled, mismanaged, and\/or transferred to Alameda Research. Based on the commission\u2019s information, any such actions would have been contrary to normal governance, without client consent and potentially unlawful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bahamian division of FTX Trading, popularly known as FTX.com, is called <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/ftx-crypto-exchange-relocates-its-headquarters-to-the-bahamas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FTX Digital Markets<\/a>. Customers can purchase derivatives, options, as well as other goods and services, from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FTX shuts down Alameda Research <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of FTX also made the decision to close <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/binance-in-talks-with-doj-and-regulators-over-ftx.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alameda Research<\/a>, the firm's trading house that has been at the center of the current problem, public on Thursday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the SEC is looking into Sam Bankman-Fried for any possible securities law violations. Ryne Miller, general attorney for FTX US, wrote to his team in an internal message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cFTX US looks prepared to make payroll at least in the next cycle. Folks should prepare to make their own choices as appropriate for their personal situation on next steps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>SBF claimed in a tweet on Thursday that FTX US was &#8220;100% liquid&#8221; and that FTX.com's business activities had no financial influence on it. However, users have been asked to close any open holdings because FTX US may stop trading in a few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still, on the FTX liquidity issue, Bahamas securities regulators have frozen the assets of FTX.com an action regarded as a &#8220;prudent course&#8221; Over the past few years, FTX.com has operated out of the Bahamas, where it was registered.
