FTX’s Financial Shortfall and Alameda’s Reliance
Alamada, initially believed to be independent from FTX, was heavily reliant on FTX for funding, leading to FTX’s bankruptcy announcement. Extravagant spending by executives, including Alameda’s access to a $65 billion line of credit, contributed to the financial shortfall. A “cash management” agreement was created to conceal the close relationship between FTX and Alameda during an audit process.

FTX’s Downfall and Uncertain Future
FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after a massive outflow of funds from customers and failed rescue agreement attempts with Binance. The fate of FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, by the court is still undetermined.
Hot Take: FTX’s efforts to resurrect the exchange show a determination to bounce back and regain its position in the international cryptocurrency market. However, the company will need to address the financial and governance issues that led to its downfall for a successful relaunch.
