Per Bloomberg:
FTX US, the American entity of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange, said trading may be halted on FTX US in a few days while FTX digital markets assets have been frozen by Bahamas regulators.
“Please close down any positions you want to close down. Withdrawals are and will remain open. We will give updates as we have them,” according to a notice on its website.
Withdrawals are and will remain open, the company said.
FTX.com and FTX US are separate entities with separate management personnel, tech infrastructure, and licensing, but have similar owners and investors, representatives for the firms have said in the past.
In recent days, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have asked for details about the ownership structure of FTX US and FTX.com, Bloomberg News has reported.
Regulators are interested in any overlap between management and board structures, and the financial relationship between the two entities. The agencies have also asked for details on whether customer accounts were properly segregated and the composition of the investor base at FTX.com.
