BlockFi gets ready in case of bankruptcy
According to persons acquainted, BlockFi, which is financially connected to the now-bankrupt FTX, intends to fire employees and is considering declaring bankruptcy itself. Due to its significant holdings in FTX, which filed for bankruptcy on November 11 citing $8 billion in liabilities, BlockFi is getting ready to apply for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors.
According to statements made by BlockFi, FTX owed it money in addition to having sizable deposits with it and an undrawn line of credit. Receiving money from FTX is uncertain because the bitcoin exchange claimed last week in court that it might have more than one million debtors.
In the wake of FTX's collapse last week, which was caused by a report that questioned the exchange's financial sheet and money channelled to sister trading business Alameda Research, BlockFi suspended all user withdrawals.
BlockFi, a privately held company situated in Jersey City, New Jersey, was founded in 2017 and had a peak market value of $3 billion US in 2018.
Regarding a probable bankruptcy filing, BlockFi has not made any public remarks.
