Benzinga - FTX Japan K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Sam Bankman-Fried's now-defunct crypto exchange, resumed withdrawals on Tuesday — the first FTX (CRYPTO: FTT) group business to return customers' funds.

What Happened: According to a press release, at noon in Tokyo on Tuesday, customers will be able to withdraw their fiat and crypto funds.

Bankman-Fried is “happy to see that the Japanese exchange is moving forward, and continues to maintain that the US entity can and should do the same as soon as possible,” his spokesperson Mark Botnick was quoted as saying by Bloomberg News.
