Significance of the FTX EU LTD
Currently, the developers have activated the withdrawal mode on the website to expedite the compensation process. The developers stated that the “FTX EU LTD” will support the customers to make withdrawal requests more seamlessly.

Per the March 30 report, the FTX EU was launched in March 2022 before the collapse of the Bahamian crypto exchange. Following the uncertainty in the crypto space, the regulators ordered the shutdown of the FTX EU platform last November.
As stated in the report, the FTX Europe office was situated in Switzerland. The European head office managed and controlled the operation of FTX in the region.
