Twitter user @AFTXcreditor, who claims to be a creditor of FTX, quoted disclosure documents on Twitter and stated that the reason for FTX Japan’s cancellation of the auction was that it planned to restart.

Over the past few months, there have been multiple developments regarding this sale, with online brokerage Monex among those in the running.

According to the tweet, Court documents show that CEO John J. Ray III has spoken with officials in Japan regarding various matters.

The decision to possibly reopen comes after Ray has spoken to several parties in Japan regarding the status of FTX Japan. An auction to sell the exchange has also been in the news.
