FTX, the bankrupt crypto exchange, is making a final push for its revival plans and is seeking submissions from interested parties. If you want to help finance or participate in the restart of FTX, you must submit your initial indications of interest this week. The restart could happen through a joint venture, and FTX would likely rebrand as part of the process. Existing users may also have the opportunity to receive stakes in the reorganized entity.
FTX filed for bankruptcy last November and has been looking to reboot its flagship international crypto exchange, FTX.com. The investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners has reached out to third parties about acquiring, investing in, or reorganizing the exchange. Over 100 parties have shown interest in buying FTX units, and blockchain technology company Figure has indicated its interest in backing the restart.
While FTX aims to revive its international exchange, it is uncertain whether its U.S. exchange, which represented a smaller part of its business, will resume operations. FTX owed customers around $8.7 billion when it filed for bankruptcy last year, but it has made progress in securing assets and has recovered about $7 billion so far.

However, the uncertain future of its U.S. exchange and the regulatory scrutiny in the crypto sector highlight the need for careful planning and compliance in order to ensure long-term success.
