Benzinga - Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has revealed its plans for a potential revival under the leadership of its new CEO, John Ray, according to a court filing.
The filing highlighted the efforts made by Ray during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process and mentioned the possibility of rebooting FTX, Cointelegraph reported.
Ray had previously discussed the idea of rebooting the troubled exchange back in January.
Reports at that time suggested that FTX had identified $5.5 billion in liquid assets, and the new CEO was working with creditors on a revival plan.
Later in April, it was reported that the exchange had recovered $7.3 billion in assets, with plans to relaunch FTX by the second quarter of 2024.
