Former NYSE President’s Firm Competes to Acquire and Relaunch FTX
Reports from the Wall Street Journal indicate that Tom Farley, the former head of the New York Stock Exchange, is one of three top bidders looking to purchase and potentially revive FTX, a bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange. This potential acquisition could bring new hope to the troubled firm.
Farley’s company is competing with Figure Technologies, a fintech company, and Proof Group, a crypto investment entity, in the final round to acquire FTX. Over 70 interested parties were narrowed down to these three contenders in a recent advisory session.
The ultimate bidder is expected to be selected by December, and there are rumors of a potential revival of FTX despite skepticism from industry professionals. The fate of FTX remains uncertain, with discussions around compensating former clients for their lost assets.
