Let’s discover more about this important news about FTX.</p>
<h5><strong>Cyprus Extends FTX Europe Suspension</strong></h5>
<p>The suspension of FTX Europe first happened on November 11th, 2022, shortly after the company declared bankruptcy in the U.S. At the time, FTX Europe had only been operating for eight months as a regulated investment firm in the European Union. <a href="https://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-gb/home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CySEC</a> decided to halt its operations due to concerns about the management team and the need to protect customers’ assets.</p>

<p>Along with the bankruptcy filings, there were reports of a hack that drained up to $600 million in cryptocurrency from FTX and FTX US-linked wallets. Since then, FTX Europe has been sold back to its original owners. The Swiss startup Digital Assets AG, which became FTX Europe after FTX bought it for $323 million in 2021, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/ftx-drops-demand-for-323-million-over-europe-deal-agrees-to-sell-eu-assets-3235f87a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">agreed</a> to sell it back for just $32.7 million in February 2024 after a lengthy dispute.</p>

Those who don’t withdraw their funds will have them moved into a “client-segregated account” for up to six years.</p>

<p>This ongoing suspension is a cautionary tale for the crypto world, where things can go from bad to worse in the blink of an eye. Although customers are allowed to withdraw their money, the future of the company remains unclear. For now, <a href="https://ftxeurope.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX Europe</a> is in limbo, as the wheels of justice and regulation continue to turn slowly.</p>
