FTX May Purchase a Stake in BlockFi
Crypto exchange FTX is reportedly in talks to acquire a stake in BlockFi after the company issued a $250 million credit to the lending firm. Meanwhile, FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has helped support many crypto projects in recent weeks amid a bear market forcing a lot of companies to take cost-cutting measures. Last week, trading firm Alameda Research under SBF announced it had loaned 15,000 Bitcoin (BTC) to Voyager Digital to cover losses from its exposure to Three Arrows Capital.
