Key Points:
Cofsky is part of the FTX restructuring team that aims to maximize the value of the exchange and could involve a sale or even a relaunch of the exchange. At the hearing, Cofsky argued that the customer list is “extraordinarily valuable” and could harm FTX’s restructuring efforts if competitors were to gain knowledge of it. He added that the team’s understanding is based on research and having looked at the costs incurred by other crypto companies specifically to solicit customers.
Currently, the customer list is under seal, but mainstream media outlets, including Bloomberg, the Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal’s parent firm, Dow Jones & Company, objected to the decision. These organizations argued that the press and public have “a presumptive right of access to bankruptcy filings.”
FTX has begun a “significant” process of soliciting interest from buyers, investors, or even a relaunch of the exchange. The customer list is “extremely valuable and valued” by those interested in the business. Cofsky believes that even if the exchange isn’t sold or finds investors, a relaunch of the exchange could see creditors collect a portion of the trading fees on what he dubbed a “first-class” and “regulatorily compliant”.
FTX restructuring team is working hard to ensure that the exchange’s value is maximized to the fullest extent possible. Therefore, the customer list is an essential component that must be kept confidential to prevent competitors from gaining an unfair advantage and to avoid harming FTX’s restructuring efforts.
