FTX warns of unauthorised bidding

Recently, FTX sent a warning about its approved investment manager. FTX announced that it has taken preventative action after discovering that some unapproved third parties are making attempts to bid on behalf of particular FTX Debtors.

FTX said on the X platform that Galaxy Asset Management, the court-appointed investment manager, is the only entity authorised to handle the sale of Digital Assets by FTX Debtors as required by a bankruptcy court order.

Consequently, any requests for purchases or sales may only be handled by Galaxy Asset Management. The insolvent exchange sent this advice to interested parties, advising institutional purchasers and those following regulations to heed it.
