Announcement on the FTX Japan website
What else does the website say? The FTX Japan team has drawn customers’ attention to the fact that due to a large number of requests, it may take some time to complete the withdrawal process. Representatives of the platform have apologized for the inconvenience caused to users due to the suspension of services.
Earlier, FTX Japan announced that the assets of Japanese customers will be separated from their general funds as part of the bankruptcy proceedings of the parent company in the United States. The decision affected both fiat funds and cryptocurrencies.
In January, the media reported on Tokyo-based brokerage Monex’s plans to buy FTX Japan. Permission to sell FTX Japan and three other companies within the FTX Group was issued by the court on January 13.
