FTT, the native currency of FTX and its ecosystem, is up 45% when writing on June 28. This positive price action follows a report\u00a0by the Wall Street Journal that the exchange\u2019s new management has started receiving proposals from parties interested in restarting the exchange. The unconfirmed report cited the chief executive officer, John J. Ray III, who took over FTX when it officially filed for bankruptcy in mid-November 2022. Will FTX Be Restarted? Sources report that the management team of the cryptocurrency exchange has been in discussions with investors interested in seeing the platform back up and running.\u00a0 Different ownership and management structures are being considered as part of this effort. A joint venture is one option, which would involve compensating existing clients affected by the FTX bankruptcy through stakes in the new organization. Additionally, when the exchange is relaunched, it will operate under a new brand name to improve its reputation and regain trust.

The CEO also added that despite the alleged illegal activities committed by executives, mainly Sam Bankman-Fried and Alameda Research, the exchange\u2019s business model was feasible. A restructuring and a restart of the exchange, observers note, will be a better outcome for its millions of clients who were adversely affected after the exchange unexpectedly filed for bankruptcy last year.

Charges Against Sam Bankman-Fried And Alameda Research Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, is charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud, money laundering, and bribery, among others, following an investigation by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The agency sought to discover whether FTX and Alameda Research knowingly engaged in market manipulation and if there was a conflict of interest. The CFTC also alleges that FTX and its trading wing, Alameda Research, failed to disclose their trading activities to clients while using their funds to support FTT prices.\u00a0 Related Reading: Michael Saylor Doubles Down On Bitcoin, Adds 12,333 BTC To MicroStrategy\u2019s Holdings Amid this, Bankman-Fried is accused of using Alameda funds to cover his expenses, including donating $10 million to a political party.
