Collapsed-crypto exchange FTX outlined a “severe liquidity crisis” in U.S. bankruptcy filings, which said the group could have more than 1 million creditors, as regulators opened investigations and lawmakers called for clearer rules on how the industry operates.
“FTX faced a severe liquidity crisis that necessitated the filing of these cases on an emergency basis last Friday,” the court filing stated. The filings also confirmed that FTX had responded to a cyber attack on Nov. 11, after saying on Saturday it had seen “unauthorized transactions” on its platform.
The Securities Commission of The Bahamas, in a statement also dated Monday, said two PwC partners had been approved by the Supreme Court as joint provisional liquidators for FTX. Investigations by the U.S. Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission are also under way, a source with knowledge of the investigations told Reuters.
“One has to ask why prices are not already lower than they are. The answer may simply be that the scale of this collapse is such that credit concerns now trump every other risk, and participants are focusing on moving assets off exchanges, at the short-term expense of price risk management,” said crypto liquidity provider B2C2 in a note to customers.
