FTX founder's open letter admits mistakes, assets still exceed deposits but liquidity is tight.
The founder of FTX recently issued an open letter expressing apologies for the company's current situation. He admitted to making significant mistakes in management and decision-making, which led FTX into a liquidity crisis.
According to the content of the letter, the total asset value of FTX International is still higher than user deposits, but the liquidity situation is extremely tight. The founder stated that poor management of the company’s bank accounts led him to severely underestimate the actual leverage ratio. It was originally believed that the leverage ratio was close to zero, but it actually reached 1.7 times. Meanwhile, the available liquidity is only 0.8 times the withdrawal demand on Sunday, far below the expected 24 times.
Faced with an unexpected withdrawal request of about $5 billion, FTX struggled to respond. The founder admitted to insufficient communication after the crisis broke out and failed to inform the public of the situation in a timely manner, for which he expressed deep apologies.
He stated that he will do everything possible to resolve the current predicament and is negotiating with multiple parties, including signing letters of intent. The company will prioritize protecting user interests, and all funds and collateral will be used to repay users. In addition, Alameda Research will cease trading activities on FTX.
The founder emphasized that this incident only involves FTX International, and the operations and financial status of FTX US have not been affected. He committed to improving the transparency of corporate governance in the future, allowing all stakeholders to participate in supervision.
In the end, he once again apologized to users, investors, and employees for his mistakes, stating that he would do his utmost to rectify the situation and take full responsibility.
