FTX CEO John Ray III is reaching out to potential participants to relaunch and rename the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
FTX, a troubled cryptocurrency exchange, is making efforts to relaunch its international platform, despite facing reputation damage, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The exchange’s new management team revealed that approximately $9 billion of customer funds were misused prior to the company’s downfall last year.
FTX CEO John Ray III has initiated discussions with potential partners to relaunch the FTX exchange. The company is considering renaming the exchange and exploring ways to compensate certain existing customers. Additionally, efforts are being made to build and strengthen the team through recruitment.
Sources suggest that blockchain technology company Figure has shown interest in assisting FTX with its reboot. Figure was also part of an investment group that competed for the acquisition of Celsius Network but was ultimately outbid by another consortium.
CEO John Ray III has announced the formation of a task force to explore the relaunch of the FTX.com exchange.

According to a court filing in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, FTX has disclosed the names of potential buyers interested in acquiring the company’s assets under the 363 Sale section of the US Bankruptcy Code.

The debtors of FTX are planning to carry out the sale process in either the third or fourth quarter of this year. They intend to choose a “stalking-horse bidder,” which means one of the interested companies will likely be selected as the initial bidder.
Additionally, there are companies that are considering investing in FTX 2.0. The team, led by CEO John Ray III, is currently working on the bid process letter, identifying interested parties, bringing market makers on board, and preparing for the relaunch of FTX Japan.
