Last Thursday, while the exchange was still unraveling, the Securities Commission of the Bahamas suspended FTX’s registration and froze assets tied to the enterprise. It also appointed attorney Brian Simms as a court-supervised provisional liquidator.
The Commission, which announced the appointment of PwC's Kevin Cambridge and Peter Greaves as joint provisional liquidators on Monday, said it was taking swift enforcement action "to further protect the interests of clients, creditors and other stakeholders globally of FTX Digital Markets Ltd."
"The Commission is the lead authority in the Bahamas conducting the investigations into the events and parties, including, but not limited to, FTX Digital Markets Ltd. (a regulated entity), FTX Trading Ltd., Alameda Research Ltd. and other related entities whose center of main interest, direction and management were purportedly located in the Bahamas," the statement said.
FTX filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. last Friday, listing its 134 affiliates and subsidiaries around the world as entities also seeking protection against insolvency. A document filed on Monday showed FTX may have more than one million creditors.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Lo que debes saber:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
