From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Logo ofFTX

The bankruptcy ofFTX,aBahamas-basedcryptocurrency exchange,began in November 2022. The collapse of FTX, caused by aspike in customer withdrawalsthat exposed an $8 billion hole in FTX's accounts,[1]served as the impetus for its bankruptcy. Prior to its collapse, FTX was the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume and had over one million users.

On 2 November 2022,CoinDeskpublished an article stating thatAlameda Research,atrading firmaffiliated with FTX and owned by FTX chief executiveSam Bankman-Fried,held a significant amount of FTX's exchange token, FTT.[2][3]The article triggered a spike in withdrawals from FTX, but eventually, customers became unable to retrieve the money they had deposited in the exchange.[4]On 11 November, FTX, Alameda Research, and over 100 affiliated entities filed for bankruptcy. Bankman-Fried resigned as FTX CEO and was replaced byJohn J. Ray III.[5][6]

The collapse of FTX has had a wide impact on cryptocurrency markets, with comparisons made to theEnron scandalandMadoff investment scandal,and was described by federal prosecutors as "one of the biggest financial frauds in American history".[7][8]Following the bankruptcy, theSecurities Commission of the Bahamasfroze the assets of one of FTX's subsidiaries.[9]Bankman-Fried'snet worth,estimated at $16 billion prior to the collapse, was reported as having been wiped out,[10]and several institutional investors of FTXwrote offtheir investment stakes in the company.[11][12]Some $473 million in funds were later taken from FTX in an "unauthorized transaction".[13]The collapse of FTX has resulted in a ripple effect across cryptocurrency markets, with the price ofBitcoinfalling to its lowest level in two years.[14]

In late 2022 and early 2023, key executives from FTX and Alameda, such asCaroline Ellison,Gary Wang,and Nishad Singh, pleaded guilty to defrauding FTX customers and related charges.[15]In October 2023, all three testified that it was Bankman-Fried who directed them to commit fraud.[16]On 2 November 2023,Sam Bankman-Friedwas convicted of defrauding customers of FTX and lenders of Alameda Research.[17]

Sam Bankman-FriedcofoundedAlameda Research,a cryptocurrency trading firm, in 2017.[18]In 2019, Bankman-Fried had the idea of starting a cryptocurrency exchange to help bring in revenue to fund Alameda's activities and founded FTX.[19]Bankman-Fried was the CEO of both companies until he formally stepped down from his position at Alameda in October 2021, promoting tradersCaroline EllisonandSam Trabuccoto co-CEOs.[20]Ellison was reported to have a romantic involvement with Bankman-Fried.[21]As of August 2021, Bankman-Fried still owned 90% of Alameda.[18]

The close relationship and potential conflicts of interest between Alameda and FTX drew scrutiny from the rest of the cryptocurrency industry.[22][19]Alameda was once the largest trader on FTX, bringing liquidity to the exchange.[22]Between 1 June 2022 and 22 July 2022, Alameda's known wallets were the largeststablecoindepositors and sources of liquidity to all of FTX's known wallet addresses, accounting for 10% ofTethertransfers and 30% ofUSD Cointransfers on the exchange.[22]According toJohn J. Ray III,Alameda had a "secret exemption" from FTX's auto-liquidation protocol.[23][24]

Alameda Research suffered a series of losses in May and June 2022, which anonymous sources told theWall Street Journalresulted in FTX lending the trading firm more than half of its customer funds, a decision that the sources said FTX CEOSam Bankman-Frieddescribed as a "poor judgment call".[25][26]This was explicitly forbidden by FTX's terms of service.[27]On 12 November 2022, theWall Street Journalreported that anonymous sources had said that Alameda CEOCaroline Ellisonsaid that she, Bankman-Fried, Gary Wang, and Nishad Singh were aware of that decision.[28]The same was reported in theNew York Timeson 14 November 2022.[29]FTX used software to conceal the misuse of customer funds.[23][24]

Timeline

Following months of arguments and disagreements betweenChangpeng Zhao,the CEO ofBinance,and Bankman-Fried, tensions between the two had intensified days before the crisis.[30]Zhao's firmBinancehad obtained $2.1 billion in Binance USD and FTT coins in 2021, following a deal in which FTX bought back an equity stake held by Binance in FTX, and in early November 2022, it had 23 million FTT tokens, worth about $529 million at the time.[31]

On 7 November 2022, Zhao announced that Binance had intended to sell its holdings in FTT.[32][31]The sale of Binance's holdings in FTT, compounded with the low trading volume of FTT and the enmity between Zhao and Bankman-Fried, resulted in the price of the token plummeting.[33][34][35]Binance had received FTT from FTX in 2021 during a transaction in which FTX bought back Binance's equity stake in FTX.[36]Zhao cited "recent revelations that came to light" as the motivation for selling FTT.[36]BloombergandTechCrunchreported that any sale by Binance would likely have an outsized impact on FTT's price, given the token's low trading volume.[37][38]The announcement by Zhao of the pending sale and disputes between Zhao and Bankman-Fried on Twitter led to a decline in the price of FTT and other cryptocurrencies,[39]resulting in $6 billion of customer withdrawals from FTX.[40]FTX became unable to meet the demand for further withdrawals, and on 8 November, Bankman-Fried and Zhao jointly announced Binance had entered into a nonbinding agreement to purchase FTX to ensure that customers could recover their assets in a timely manner.[41][42]The deal did not include the sale of FTX.US.[41]Zhao announced on Twitter that the company would complete due diligence soon, adding that all crypto exchanges should avoid using tokens as collateral.[43][44]He also wrote that he expected FTT to be "highly volatile in the coming days as things develop". On the day of that announcement, FTT lost 80 percent of its value.[45]

Binance acquisition dropped

[edit]

On 9 November, Bloomberg called the acquisition of FTX by Binance "unlikely" due to the poor state of FTX's finances.[46]Bloomberg also reported that the United StatesSecurities and Exchange CommissionandCommodity Futures Trading Commissionwere investigating the nature of FTX's connections to Bankman-Fried's other holdings and its handling of client funds.[47]Later that day, theWall Street Journalreported that Binance would not move forward with the deal to acquire FTX.[48]Binance cited FTX's reported mishandling of customer funds and pending investigations of FTX as the reasons for not pursuing the deal.[49]Bankman-Fried said in aSlackmessage that FTX had learned through the press about Binance's concerns and decision.[50]

Collapse and further rescue attempts

[edit]

On 9 November, FTX's website said that it was not processing withdrawals at that time.[40]Bankman-Fried said that although the firm's assets were worth more than its clients' deposits, it would need funds from outside to meet demand for withdrawals due to a lack ofliquidity.[51][52]Bankman-Fried stated on 9 November that FTX.US, as a separate company, was "not currently impacted" by the crisis.[53]

On 10 November,Axiosreported that FTX approachedKrakenfor a potential rescue deal.[54]Bankman-Fried made several statements on 10 November, taking responsibility for FTX's failure and indicating that FTX was attempting to raise $10 billion in emergency financing to remain solvent.[55][56][57]Bankman-Fried also announced that Alameda Research would cease trading and end operations.[58]FTX's in-house legal and compliance teams had, for the most part, resigned by 10 November.[59][60]Anonymous sources cited by theWall Street Journalon 10 November said that Alameda Research owed FTX some $10 billion, as FTX had lent funds placed on the exchange for trading to Alameda so that Alameda could make investments with the money.[61]

Though Bankman-Fried said that FTX.US customers did not have reason to worry on Twitter on 10 November, employees began attempting to sell assets belonging to the firm on the same day.[62]These assets include stock-clearing company Embed Financial Technologies and the naming rights toFTX Arena.[62]Disagreements emerged between remaining executives, with Bankman-Fried and FTX COO Constance Wang resisting urges from Ryne Miller, a member of FTX US's legal team, to end trading on the exchanges.[63]Bankman-Fried continued to seek funding even as Miller informed other executives that he believed there was a "0%" chance of securing further investment.[63]Miller and other executives asked Bankman-Fried to cede control of FTX US to them, which he resisted.[63]On 11 November, Bankman-Fried announced that he had filed FTX US for bankruptcy along with FTX and Alameda.[64]Bankman-Fried continued to seek capital for FTX after the bankruptcy, and claimed without evidence that a potential backer had emerged soon after the filing.[63]

On 12 November, anonymous sources cited by theWall Street Journalsaid Alameda CEOCaroline Ellisondisclosed to other Alameda employees that she, Sam Bankman-Fried, Gary Wang, and Nishad Singh knew that client deposits were transferred from FTX to Alameda.[65]An anonymous source cited by theNew York Timeson 14 November said the same.[66]Anonymous sources cited by theWall Street Journalsaid the funds were used in part to pay back loans Alameda had taken to make investments.[65]On 10 November, theSecurities Commission of the Bahamasfroze the assets of one of FTX's subsidiaries, FTX Digital Markets Ltd, "and related parties", and provisionally appointed an attorney as liquidator.[67][68]Japan'sFinancial Services Agencyordered FTX Japan to suspend some operations.[69][70]The company's Australian subsidiary was placed underadministration.[69]

On the same day, a team running the FTX Future Fund, a charitable group bankrolled by Bankman-Fried, announced their collective resignations.[71]Future Fund had committed $160 million in charitable grants and investments by 1 September of that year.[72]

Bankruptcy

[edit]

On 11 November, FTX, FTX US, Alameda Research, and more than 100 affiliates filed forbankruptcyin Delaware.[73][71][74]Anonymous sources cited by theNew York Timessaid that the exchange owes as much as $8 billion.[71]The crypto lenderBlockFi,which was affiliated with FTX, announced on 10 November that it was suspending operations as a result of FTX's collapse.[71]Bankman-Fried resigned as CEO and was replaced byJohn J. Ray III,acorporate restructuringspecialist who previously oversaw the liquidation ofEnron.[73][74][75]As of 12 November, Bankman-Fried told Reuters that he was still in the Bahamas,[76]though other high-ranking FTX employees had begun leaving for Hong Kong, the location of the company's former headquarters, or other locations.[77]Authorities in the Bahamas, including theRoyal Bahamas Police Force,questioned Bankman-Fried on 12 November.[78]Despite FTX's bankruptcy, Bankman-Fried continued to attempt to raise money for the firm during the weekend of 12 and 13 November.[79]

Unauthorized transactions

[edit]

Late on 11 November, some $473 million in funds were removed from FTX through what Ryne Miller, FTX US's general counsel, characterized as "unauthorized transactions".[80]Miller further announced that FTX and FTX US intended to move remaining funds denominated in cryptocurrency to offline "cold storage".[80]The funds taken from FTX were mostlystablecoinssuch asTether,and were quickly exchanged forEther,a method used by cryptocurrency thieves to thwart attempts to retrieve stolen funds.[81]A person speaking on behalf of FTX in aTelegramchat referred to the "unauthorized transactions" as a "hack" and encouraged users to delete FTX mobile apps as they were compromised.[77]Krakenhas since announced its assistance in identifying the perpetrator.[82]On 14 November, Kraken's chief security officer said on Twitter that the firm knew "the identity" of a user who paid transaction fees associated with moving the stolen money through their Kraken account.[83]In an interview with Kelsey Piper published 16 November byVox,Bankman-Fried blamed an "ex-employee" or malware on a device owned by an ex-employee for the theft.[84]

In January 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted three individuals for running aSIM swap scamoperation that allegedly stole “over $400 million in virtual currency” from an unspecified company between November 11-12, 2022.[85]Sources told Bloomberg that the company was FTX.[86]

Between $1 billion and $2 billion in customer funds reportedly could not be accounted for as of 12 November.[87]TheFinancial Timesreported that FTX's balance sheet shortly before the bankruptcy showed $9 billion in liabilities against $900 million inliquid assets,$5 billion in "less liquid" assets, and $3.2 billion in illiquidprivate equityinvestments.[88]American columnistMatt Levinedescribed that among its less liquid assets that "[FTX] relied on to be able to pay out customer balances" were twotokensthat "it had just made up", referring to the FTX Token and Serum, a separate cryptocurrency accounted for in the balance sheet.[89]

Contagion fears and impact on cryptocurrency markets

[edit]

Cryptocurrencies experienced swings and declines in value as news of FTX's collapse first emerged in early November:Tetherdropped below its peg price of $1.00 to $0.97[90]and Bitcoin sank to its lowest price in two years.[74]Share prices for publicly traded cryptocurrency companies declined.[91]The price ofSolana,which was affiliated with Bankman-Fried, declined as well.[92]The crisis at FTX has inspired an increase in withdrawals from other exchanges.[93]A decline in the value of Cronos, the token of exchangeCrypto,triggered fears of the potential for a collapse similar to that of FTX and spurred withdrawals from the platform.[94]CEO Kris Marszalek provided assurances that the firm was liquid and that it did not use Cronos in a manner similar to the way FTX used FTT.[94]Bloomberg reported that the collapse of FTX exacerbated institutional skepticism of cryptocurrencies as an asset class.[95]

BlockFi, a cryptocurrency lender, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 28 November; the firm had earlier begun preventing withdrawals.[96][97]The company disclosed "significant exposure" to FTX on 14 November.[97]Another cryptocurrency lender,Genesis,a subsidiary ofDigital Currency Group,halted withdrawals on 16 November.[98]This halt causedGemini,an exchange owned by theWinklevoss twins,to cease allowing redemptions for clients using a service provided through a partnership with Genesis.[99]Another Digital Currency Group subsidiary, Grayscale, saw the value of its flagship offering, the publicly traded Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, decline by 20% over the two weeks preceding 17 November.[100]Grayscale Bitcoin Trust was trading at a discounted price, 42% below the value of its Bitcoin, as of 14 November.[101]
