Texas regulator probes crypto platform FTX and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried
Texas’s securities regulator is investigating crypto trading platform FTX and its billionaire founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, for selling an investment product that potentially violated state law.
The probe, announced in a Friday filing by Texas State Securities Board enforcement director Joe Rotunda, centers on whether FTX has been illegally offering Texans accounts that pay interest on crypto deposits.
Rotunda argues that the accounts are akin to securities and that the company should have registered with the state before signing up its residents. It’s the latest attempt by state financial watchdogs to crack down on leading crypto players as federal policymakers remain divided about how to write rules for the industry.
The investigation is a possible roadblock to Bankman-Fried’s bid to buy up digital assets from companies that buckled under the weight of the crypto market’s downturn earlier this year.
How state regulators supplanted the feds in policing crypto markets
The 30-year-old chief executive last month won an auction for the assets of bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital with a $1.4 billion bid. But Rotunda in his filing asked the New York bankruptcy court handling Voyager’s case to block that sale. He said FTX’s yield-bearing accounts resemble a similar offering from Voyager that drew cease-and-desist orders from Texas and other states before the company collapsed.
FTX said in a statement that the company has been in talks with the Texas regulator “for a while.”
