The Securities and Change Fee of Cyprus, or CySEC, reportedly issued an announcement amid FTX submitting for Chapter 11 chapter in the USA requesting the trade halt operations for its Europe arm.
In response to a Nov. 11 Reuters report, the CySEC said it had requested FTX Europe to “droop its operations and to proceed instantly with numerous actions for the safety of the traders” on Nov. 9.

CySEC accredited the FTX arm to function within the island nation from its regional headquarters in March, with its European headquarters based mostly in Switzerland. Amid FTX’s liquidity points, world monetary policymakers have responded with ideas for added rules on crypto corporations, in addition to freezing property with the trade’s native companies, as was the case within the Bahamas.
