Moreover, the entrepreneur said, FTX does not invest customer funds, has sufficient reserves and does not suspend withdrawals from the exchange. The last point is related to growing concerns that emerged this morning, when some users had problems with withdrawals from FTX.

CZ v. SBF

Changpeng Zhao posted a series of tweets yesterday evening in which he wrote that Binance had received $2.1 billion in BUSD and FTT as part of its exit strategy from FTX investments, and due to Sam Bankman-Fried's unethical actions he is planning to sell its $600 million bag of FTT tokens within one or two months on the open market.

Alameda Research's new head Caroline Ellison has publicly tweeted to CZ to sell all FTT tokens at $22 to reduce the market impact on the FTX exchange's native token price.
