"Our hope was to be able to support FTX customers by providing liquidity, but the issues are beyond our control or ability to assist," Binance said.

"As a result of corporate due diligence, as well as recent news regarding the mismanagement of client funds and alleged investigations by US agencies, we have decided not to pursue the potential acquisition of FTX," Binance said in a statement. a tweet.

“Every time a major player in an industry fails, retail consumers suffer,” Binance continued. “In recent years we have seen the crypto ecosystem become more resilient and we believe over time that all that misuse user funds will be eliminated from the free market”.
