“During the conversation, of course, the topic also came up, that if they need liquidity, there are certainly companies within the ranks of FTX, whether they are self-employed or acquired companies, that might be of interest to us as well. How do we buy these? I guess I can say that’s The question was raised seriously. But now the situation is different because of the bankruptcy proceedings. I’m not saying that it is no longer interesting to us, because it is, but now it will be a more difficult path.
Due to a bankruptcy filing in the US, FTX must go through the formal liquidation process.
The same applies to approximately 130 different companies in their field of interest.
For this reason, the potential valuation of companies has become orders of magnitude more complicated until the legal situation is settled.
However, some of the exchange’s affiliates are not involved in bankruptcy proceedings, such as LedgerX, FTX Digital Markets, FTX Australia, or payment service provider FTX Express Pay.
On the other hand, Garlinghouse did not name any companies, merely saying that they are interested in companies that could be beneficial to Ripple’s clients.
However, he did not disclose more details to the press.
However, it is clear that Ripple’s top management is also keeping an eye on the state of FTX.
On the tenth day, the company’s chief technology officer, David Schwartz, tweeted to FTX employees that an office at Ripple could also be waiting for them, but only for those who are not affected by the current situation.
Hey @tweet Employees who do not participate in compliance, finance, or business ethics:@ripple He is always hiring.
