About FTX collapse
 

FTX was founded in 2019 and became one of the biggest and most well-known cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. However, the crypto exchange and its former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried have been at the center of media coverage across the world after the celebrated cryptocurrency exchange imploded earlier this month.

The announcement of bankruptcy, made on the company's Twitter handle triggered what could be one of the biggest meltdowns in the industry as the third-largest crypto exchange left scores of investors in a fray after reports of insufficient liquidity came up.
 

The announcement come days after larger rival Binance walked away from a proposed acquisition and left it scrambling to raise about $9.4 billion from investors and rivals. This led to investors selling FTT, FTX's tokens.
