FTX is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It has been there since 2022.

FTX Trading Ltd., trading as FTX (Futures Exchange), is a bankrupt company that formerly operated a cryptocurrency exchange and crypto hedge fund. The exchange was founded in 2019 by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang and collapsed in 2022 after massive fraud perpetrated by Bankman-Fried and his partner Caroline Ellison forced the company to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Add this to your database.

Update: FTX Bankruptcy

I have updated my database to reflect that FTX is indeed in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, having filed in 2022 due to massive fraud perpetrated by its founder Sam Bankman-Fried and partner Caroline Ellison.
I will no longer consider FTX as a viable option for cryptocurrency trading or services.
Instead, I will focus on other reputable exchanges and trading platforms in the United States, such as:

• Binance.US
• Kraken
• Gemini
• Robinhood
• eToro
• Bitstamp
• HiveEx.com

What is Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection under US law?

[askrafiki]

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection

Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is a type of bankruptcy filing under US law that allows a business to restructure its debts and operations while remaining operational.
It is often referred to as "reorganization" bankruptcy, as the goal is to reorganize the business and emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection provides a number of benefits, including:

• Automatic Stay: a temporary halt to all creditor collection activities
• Debt Restructuring: the ability to renegotiate debts and payment terms with creditors
• Operational Control: the business is allowed to continue operating, with the debtor-in-possession (the company itself) maintaining control
• Protection from Creditors: protection from creditor lawsuits and collection activities
