“Due to the large number of requests from customers, it may take some time for the withdrawal process to be completed,” the company said in a statement. “We will announce the resumption of other FTX Japan services as soon as possible.”
The Japanese exchange shuttered Nov. 8, a few days before FTX as a whole filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. The Japanese unit, alongside FTX Europe, has been earmarked for an early sale as the estate attempts to recoup funds.
