In a press release, FTX បាននិយាយថា: it would pursue the bankruptcy proceedings for FTX.com, FTX US, Bankman-Fried’s proprietary trading firm Alameda Research and approximately 130 additional affiliated companies.
Five subsidiaries were not included in the bankruptcy proceedings, FTX said: LedgerX (known as FTX US Derivatives), FTX Digitial Markets Ltd. and FTX Australia Pty Ltd. and FTX Express Pay Ltd.
A lawyer who ទឹកកក disgraced energy firm Enron through its storied collapse in the early 2000s, John J. Ray III has been tapped to replace Bankman-Fried, who will “remain to assist in an orderly transition,” the company said.
In a statement, Ray said “the immediate relief” of Chapter 11 is “appropriate” to provide FTX the opportunity to develop a process to maximize recoveries for stakeholders, adding FTX has “valuable assets that can only be effectively administered in an organized, joint process.”
Cryptocurrency markets, already down 20% over the past week, tumbled after the announcement, with the price of bitcoin falling 4% to $16,600 in the hour through 9:45 a.m. ET, while ether shed 5% to $1,230.

FTX paused user withdrawals, and its namesake token បានដួលរលំ in value. In his Thursday tweet thread, Bankman-Fried said he was “substantially off on [his]
sense of users’ margins,” adding: “I f**ked up, and should have done better.”
