Investors were warned days ago about the possibility of FTX filing bankruptcy if it doesn’t get any cash infusion. Binance is one of the firms that opened doors in the talks of supporting the FTX exchange on its devastating challenge. However, the hope of Binance supporting FTX did not last long. Binance backed out.

Binance explained to one of the media providers in the space,

In the beginning, our hope was to be able to support FTX’s customers to provide liquidity, but the issues are beyond our control or ability to help.

Binance added in a statement that its executives changed their minds because of regulatory concerns and issues with “corporate due diligence.”

As of the time of writing, the FTT crypto trades at a depressing price of $2.58, with an almost -100% decline in the past 7 days. Additionally, the price position of FTT today is nearly the same as its all-time low price of $1.15 in 2019.

In other news, Justin Sun’s crypto trading platform Huobi announced that the firm would allow FTX users to swap their TRON-based tokens on the FTX platform at a 1:1 ratio into their Huobi accounts.  

This move aims to protect the TRON token holders amid the ongoing liquidity crisis at crypto exchange FTX after the troubled exchange halts non-fiat customer withdrawals, says the founder of open-source blockchain platform TRON in a tweet.
