FTX Had Only $900 Million in Liquid Assets Backing $9 Billion in Debt

FTX had only $900 million in liquid assets against $8.9 billion in liabilities on the eve of bankruptcy, the Financial Times reports.

Citing investment materials, the report noted that the largest easily sellable assets available to FTX were $470 million of Robinhood shares owned via an outside corporate entity belonging to CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Despite being formally based outside of the U.S., $5.1 billion of the liabilities FT reported were in U.S. dollar balances.
