Crypto exchange FTX has begun processing withdrawals, according to reports from users and the crypto community.
Data from Arkam Intelligence indicates that at least $2,6 million left the platform in the past hour. There is much uncertainty around the crypto trading venue after Bankman-Fried confirmed a “liquidity crunch” that forced them to halt operations.

FTX Re-Opens Transactions, But For How Long?
As Bitcoinist reported, institutions and big players have funds stuck on FTX. The collapse of the crypto exchange took the crypto industry by surprise.
Until now, FTX was one of the most respectable brands in the nascent industry. Sam Bankman-Fried had a relationship with U.S. regulators, politicians, celebrities, and other high-profile individuals.
Over the past week, the exchange faced a bank run that emptied over $5 billion in funds. In addition, several reports claim the company lent billion to its trading arm Alameda Research. These funds allegedly belonged to its users and were misappropriated by the exchange.

In addition to Ethereum, users can withdraw TRON, Bitcoin, Solana, Gala, stablecoins, and others. Again, there is much speculation about whether FTX can process transactions much longer and how much it can give back to its users.
