The opening chords of this financial composition sounded in March 2023, orchestrating a skillful transfer of $145 million in stablecoins to platforms including Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken.

Even after recouping assets surpassing $5 billion, FTX grapples with a challenging scenario, burdened by liabilities surpassing $8.8 billion. The gravity of this financial strain becomes evident as FTX and Alameda navigate ongoing liquidations, portraying a monumental effort to address substantial debts while providing some relief to creditors.

The outcome of this liquidation saga is still unknown, keeping the cryptocurrency community eagerly anticipating the conclusion of this financial composition.
