Market Reactions

市場反應

FTX's downfall in 2022 resulted in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Rumors regarding a possible presidential pardon for former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried due to political donations have surfaced, stirring controversy.

FTX 在 2022 年的垮台導致了美國破產法第 11 章破產保護。關於前執行長薩姆·班克曼·弗里德可能因政治捐款而被總統赦免的傳言已經浮出水面，引發了爭議。

The bankruptcy plan's use of crypto prices from the collapse date has drawn criticism, with creditors expressing concerns about reduced repayment value due to subsequent price increases.

破產計劃使用崩潰之日起的加密貨幣價格引起了批評，債權人對由於隨後的價格上漲而導致還款價值降低表示擔憂。
