FTX bankruptcy freezes millions worth of crypto company funds

CointelegraphPubblicato 2022-11-16Pubblicato ultima volta 2022-11-16

Introduzione

Galois Capital, New Huo Technology, and Nestcoin are just some of the crypto firms with funds stuck on FTX as the exchange undertakes bankruptcy filings in the United States.

The collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX continues to have knock-on effects throughout the crypto industry with multiple crypto-focused companies reporting significant amounts of their capital stuck on FTX.

⠀

Between Nov. 11 to 14 three crypto companies announced large losses with one of them having to lay off workers to deal with the crisis.

⠀

On Nov. 11, crypto hedge fund Galois Capital announced it had “significant funds” stuck on FTX, with a Nov. 12 Financial Times report that said a possible $50 million worth of Galois’ assets were stuck on the exchange.

⠀

Other crypto-focused companies have reported their funds arestuck on the now-bankrupt exchange.

⠀

New Huo Technology, the owner of the Hong Kong-based crypto platform Hbit Limited announced on Nov. 14 it failed to withdraw $18.1 million worth of cryptocurrency before FTX stopped processing withdrawals.

⠀

$13.2 million of this loss are digital assets owned by Hbit users with the company saying it would continue to take steps to “withdraw the cryptocurrency as soon as possible,” bit admitted due to FTX’s bankruptcy filings the crypto “may not [be] able to be withdrawn from FTX.”

⠀

According to the announcement, Li Lin, the controlling shareholder of the company and founder of the Huobi crypto exchange agreed to loan up to $14 million to the company for it to use in processing withdrawals. However, the company does not yet know what the financial impact of FTX’s bankruptcy will be if it is never able to withdraw the funds.

⠀

Nigerian Web3 startup Nestcoin also announced it failed to withdraw funds from FTX with the company’s CEO, Yele Bademosi, posting to Twitter on Nov. 14 a letter previously shared with investors.

⠀

The letter detailed that Nestcoin will lay off workers “as we held our assets (cash and stablecoins) at FTX to manage our operational expenses” and it no longer has the funds to pay some staff.

⠀

Previously crypto data aggregator platform CoinGecko warned on Nov. 13 that layoffs across the crypto sector could increase in the coming months when the “full impact” of FTX’s sudden collapse takes effect.

⠀

On November 11, FTX said roughly 130 companies in its FTX Group including its United States entity FTX.US and sister trading firm Alameda Research declared they would file for bankruptcy in the U.S. after FTX suffered a liquidity crisis and was unable to process user withdrawals, leaving its customers without access to their funds held on the exchange.

⠀

Its Bahamas-based subsidiary, FTX Digital Markets had its assets frozen by the local securities regulator on Nov. 10 and liquidators appointed to safeguard its funds while the bankruptcy proceedings are undertaken.

Donald Trump’s 2031 Post-Quantum Security Mandate Sparks Urgent Crypto Upgrade Efforts

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued executive orders mandating federal agencies to upgrade their cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant technologies. Key deadlines include enhancing critical systems by December 2030 and migrating all federal digital signature infrastructure to post-quantum standards by December 2031. The move addresses "harvest now, decrypt later" threats, where encrypted data could be decrypted by future quantum computers. The directive has spurred urgency in the crypto and blockchain industry, which relies heavily on elliptic curve cryptography vulnerable to quantum attacks. Recent advancements, like those from Google Quantum AI, have reduced the resources needed for such attacks. In response, projects like Ethereum, Algorand, and Ripple are developing or implementing quantum-resistant signature schemes and migration plans. The mandate also highlights risks to Bitcoin, where exposed public keys in legacy addresses could be targeted. Overall, the orders accelerate a broader shift toward post-quantum security across both government and private sectors.

Deep Insight: Decentralized Inference is Not Hype, but a Key Track for AI to Break Through Centralized Monopoly

Decentralized Reasoning: Beyond the Hype, a Key to Breaking AI's Centralized Monopoly A future scenario where a powerful AI model is banned by a major government illustrates the core value proposition of decentralized AI: resistance to censorship. The core bet of decentralized inference networks is mitigating this risk, with other benefits like cost being secondary. The path is extremely difficult, involving four key challenges: 1. **Running Massive Models:** Distributing a single model across a decentralized GPU swarm requires sophisticated techniques like pipeline and speculative decoding to overcome crippling network latency, aiming for usable speeds (e.g., 30-40 tokens/second). 2. **Proving Model Integrity:** Verifying that a node runs the correct model is critical. Solutions range from cryptographically secure but slow ZKML to faster, economically-secure methods like statistical fingerprints, deterministic re-execution, or live-weight proofs, each involving trade-offs between integrity, latency, and cost. 3. **Ensuring Prompt Privacy:** Simply sharding a model does not protect user inputs from nodes. Robust solutions currently require trusted hardware (TEEs) or advanced cryptography (FHE), which are not yet widely deployed in consumer swarms. 4. **Building a Real Market:** Identifying the ideal customer is tough. Beyond speculative AI agents, the viable market currently consists of startups embedding AI and projects needing batch processing (e.g., synthetic data generation), where decentralized aggregation can be an advantage over low-latency needs. The article analyzes several projects tackling these problems, such as Dolphin Network (live-weight proofs), Inference.net (statistical verification), Morpheus (TEE-based), and Darkbloom (Apple Secure Enclave). It provides a framework: decentralization is a "tax" for latency-sensitive applications (e.g., chat) but a potential supply-side advantage for throughput-oriented tasks (e.g., batch processing). The long-term vision is a closed data loop where decentralized inference generates valuable data (traces, preferences) to feed decentralized training networks, which in turn produce better open-weight models for the inference networks. A due diligence checklist advises focusing on projects that: are truly decentralized at specific layers; have a credible integrity method; offer real cost benefits; ensure genuine privacy; handle node reliability; have paying users; and are built by teams with deep AI expertise. The ultimate goal should be products that appeal beyond the crypto-native audience, using crypto mechanisms invisibly to deliver better cost, performance, or privacy.

Warsh’s First FOMC Chairmanship: Fed Provides Less Rate Guidance, Will US Bonds Become More Expensive?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting in June 2026 marked a shift in communication policy. The Fed held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% but removed some forward guidance from its statement, and Warsh did not submit his own "dot plot" interest rate forecast. The move reduces clear signals on future policy paths, which bond markets interpreted as introducing greater uncertainty. Consequently, short-term Treasury yields, like the 2-year, rose to multi-month highs as investors demanded higher yields to compensate for increased policy judgment risk. Warsh aims to break the "echo chamber" where markets overly focus on Fed signals rather than economic fundamentals. While some investors welcome potential reduced market speculation, others worry that less clarity will amplify volatility and raise borrowing costs. The review of Fed communication tools underscores a debate on balancing transparency with policy flexibility in a higher-rate environment.

The Final Piece of Franklin Templeton's Crypto Ambition

Franklin Templeton Completes Crypto Ambition with Acquisition of 250 Digital On June 22, Franklin Templeton announced the acquisition of 250 Digital and established Franklin Crypto, a new division focused on actively managed cryptocurrency strategies for institutional investors. The unit is led by Christopher Perkins and Seth Ginns. This acquisition marks a key piece in Franklin Templeton's multi-year crypto strategy, which began in 2018 with a digital assets team. The firm's crypto product suite now spans three layers: tokenized funds like the blockchain-based money market fund BENJI (~$831M AUM); a series of passive ETFs including Bitcoin (EZBC, ~$368M), Ethereum (EZET), XRP (XRPZ, ~$252M), Solana (SOEZ), and a multi-crypto index fund (EZPZ); and the newly added active management strategies from Franklin Crypto. The company has also expanded its crypto ecosystem through investments in projects like Ethena and Crossmint, and collaborations with blockchains such as Aptos and Sui. With approximately $18B in digital asset AUM and a total firm AUM of ~$1.78T, Franklin Templeton is positioning itself as a comprehensive crypto asset manager for pensions and sovereign wealth funds. In contrast, competitor Fidelity Investments has taken a different path, focusing early on building its own custody and trading infrastructure. Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) holds over $11B, significantly larger than Franklin Templeton's equivalent offering. Both giants' moves underscore the deepening trend of traditional finance entering the crypto space.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Faces Congress on July 14 Amid Rate Hike Debate

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will testify before the House Financial Services Committee on July 14, providing his first monetary policy assessment to Congress. This hearing occurs weeks before the Federal Open Market Committee's next meeting and fulfills the Fed's biannual reporting requirement. Investors are closely watching for insights on inflation and interest rates. Attention has shifted to the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures price index data, with May's figures expected to show a 0.5% monthly increase. Due to persistent inflation, some institutions like Bank of America now forecast three quarter-point rate hikes in September, October, and December, a shift from earlier expectations of no changes this year. Markets currently see a low probability of a July rate hike but are increasingly pricing in tightening later in the year, with CME FedWatch data indicating over a 50% chance of a move by September.
