FTX acquired Japanese crypto exchange Liquid Group to serve Japanese customers through its new subsidiary.

  • The deal is expected to close in March, according to a press release on Wednesday.

  • FTX also acquired Quoine, one of 30 exchanges registered with Japan’s Financial Service Agency (FSA), which holds a Type I Financial Instruments Business license for trading securities and derivatives.
  • FTX and Liquid Group did not respond to request for comment.
  • The Japanese exchange lost over $90 million in a hack in August 2021, after which FTX gave it a $120 million loan.
