The company’s website, however, still displayed an earlier message that said it was unable to process withdrawals.
FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried has launched an urgent push to raise funds to save his firm as the crypto exchange looks to plug a reported $8 billion hole in its finances, according to tweets and a memo to employees.
