According to CNBC, Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, said during the Fintech Week in Washington, D.C. that it is possible to restart FTX, which is operated by the former president of the New York Stock Exchange, "within the law" if the new leadership of FTX has a clear understanding of the law.

Foresight News previously reported that former New York Stock Exchange President Tom Farley was one of three bidders for FTX.
