Cyprus SEC Extends FTX Europe’s License Suspension Until September 2024
Following FTX’s collapse, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) extended the suspension of FTX Europe’s license until September 2024.
As per the CySEC directive, the extended suspension prohibits FTX Europe from offering investment services, entering new business transactions, advertising its services, or accepting new clients until September 2024.
This directive compels FTX Europe to focus on fulfilling its existing obligations amidst ongoing legal challenges.
Notably, CySEC has directed the firm to complete all outstanding obligations to its clients, including finalizing transactions and returning funds and financial instruments.
This development comes amidst a series of legal and financial challenges faced by FTX Europe and its leadership. Formerly known as Digital Assets AG, the firm was embroiled in controversy following its acquisition by FTX Group, led by Sam Bankman-Fried.
Allegations of financial impropriety and improper use of funds have further complicated the firm’s legal proceedings, with court filings seeking the recovery of millions of dollars from its leadership.
These legal battles coincide with developments within FTX’s leadership structure, further complicating the situation for FTX Europe. The sentencing of former FTX CEO to a 25-year prison term on charges of fraud and money laundering casts a shadow over the exchange’s tumultuous history.
