The revival of FTX is possible if the new leadership conducts the process with a clear understanding of the law. This was stated by the chair of the SEC<\/span> Gary Gensler in an interview with CNBC<\/a> at the DC Fintech Week conference.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBuild investor trust in your operation and ensure you disclose the appropriate information, and do not conflate these functions by trading against your clients or using their crypto assets for personal purposes,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In his words, if former NYSE<\/span> president Tom Farley or ‘someone else’ wants to reboot FTX, it must be done ‘within the law’.<\/p>\n

Gensler singled out Farley because he had entered the list<\/a> of three potential bidders to buy the bankrupt trading platform.<\/p>\n

On November 2, jurors found guilty<\/a> of all counts against former FTX chief executive Sam Bankman-Fried. The court is scheduled to hand down the final sentence on March 28, 2024.<\/p>\n

The head of the SEC stressed that his agency would never permit the New York Stock Exchange to run a hedge fund with lax oversight or to trade against clients.<\/p>\n

In Gensler’s view, when it comes to considering new rules governing the industry, the existing securities laws are ‘very robust and strong,’ so they simply need to be followed.<\/p>\n

At the same conference, the Commission chair warned of numerous fraudsters in the crypto industry. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is not a single incident or one outright fraudster; it concerns several outright fraudsters,\u201d said Gensler.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When discussing use cases and investor protection, the official highlighted the need to understand usability for \u201815 to 2,000 tokens individually\u2019.<\/p>\n

In October, creditors and FTX management approved a plan under which clients would be able to recover $9.2 billion by mid-2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the same month, the exchange leadership began considering<\/a> three options for restructuring the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
