The Securities and Change Fee of Cyprus, or CySEC, reportedly issued an announcement amid FTX submitting for Chapter 11 chapter in the US requesting the trade halt operations for its Europe arm.
In line with a Nov. 11 Reuters report, the CySEC said it had requested FTX Europe to “droop its operations and to proceed instantly with various actions for the safety of the traders” on Nov. 9. It’s unclear why the monetary regulator selected to reiterate its name to the crypto trade, on condition that FTX Europe is one in all roughly 130 firms in FTX Group that might be submitting for chapter.
CySEC accredited the FTX arm to function within the island nation from its regional headquarters in March, with its European headquarters primarily based in Switzerland. Amid FTX’s liquidity points, international monetary policymakers have responded with recommendations for added laws on crypto corporations, in addition to freezing property with the trade’s native companies, as was the case within the Bahamas.
