The bankruptcy of one of the major crypto exchanges, FTX, at the end of last year had a major impact on the market. Due to this, a large number of investors had distanced themselves from cryptocurrencies. Clients' funds were used by modifying FTX's software. The exchange's chief engineer changed the code to allow Alameda Research, the firm of FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried, to sell its assets even if it took a loss on the borrowed money. This exemption allowed the firm to borrow funds from FTX regardless of the value of the collateral. This change in code was caught by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC reported that Alameda Research was being given credit without any limit. The firm had secretly received billions of dollars in loans over two years.
