Coinbase queria comprar FTX Europe após falência: relatório
- Coinbase sought to purchase FTX Europe after the firm’s bankruptcy in November 2022.
- The exchange attempted twice to purchase FTX Europe’s derivatives business.
- A empresa não tem mais interesse em adquirir a FTX Europe e o leilão foi prorrogado até 24 de setembro.
- Outras empresas, como Crypto.com e Trek Labs, manifestaram interesse em adquirir a FTX Europe.
De acordo com um relatório, a Coinbase, a maior bolsa de criptografia dos Estados Unidos, estava de olho no braço europeu da falida plataforma de negociação de criptografia FTX, FTX Europe. A bolsa norte-americana buscou adquirir a divisão europeia após a falência de todo o império criado por Sam Bankman-Fried, também conhecido como SBF no espaço criptográfico, em novembro do ano passado.
De acordo com um relatório da Fortuna published on September 22, Coinbase attempted twice to acquire FTX Europe after the firm’s initial bankruptcy filing on November 22. The Nasdaq-listed company wanted to expand its derivatives business overseas, but it seems that now the firm does not want to go forward with the deal.
“We’re always evaluating opportunities to strategically expand our business and meet with many teams around the world,” a spokesperson from Coinbase confirmed in the report.
Fortune also reported that, along with Coinbase, digital asset trading platform Crypto.com and crypto firm Trek Labs are also interested in purchasing FTX Europe’s entire business, and as per the report, the deadline for the same has been extended to September 24. It is noteworthy that FTX spent close to $400 million to open its European business.
More importantly, FTX operated its European derivatives business under a Cyprus regulatory license and was the only firm to offer some popular derivatives products, such as perpetual futures, in the region. If Coinbase had acquired FTX Europe’s derivative business, the exchange’s fee revenue would rise since crypto derivatives trading is on the rise, despite the bear market.
Curiosamente, a Coinbase anunciou recentemente que tinha estendeu seus serviços ao Canadá, proporcionando aos cidadãos uma avaliação gratuita de 30 dias do seu serviço de assinatura recentemente estabelecido, Coinbase One, em um esforço para atrair novos consumidores.
Por outro lado, conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, os credores da FTX começaram a se recuperar dinheiro que foi enviado para as principais celebridades like Shaquille O’Neal, Naomi Osaka, and Kevin O’Leary. A list confirms that FTX transferred close to $750,000 to O’Neal, $300,000 to Osaka, along with $270,000 to former baseball star David Ortiz and over $200,000 to American football quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
