FTX
FTX was a leading cryptocurrency exchange specializing in derivatives and leveraged products.

FTX offered a wide range of trading products, including derivatives, options, and spot markets in over 300 cryptocurrency trading pairs. However, in November 2022, FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and Bankman-Fried resigned. The bankruptcy filing revealed $8 billion of liabilities and a valuation drop from $32 billion to worthless.
