On 13 November, Kraken exchange announced that the exchange was in talks with the enforcement agencies over the FTX exchange liquidity crisis issue and confirmed that Exchange took strict action to ensure the safety of the customers.
The US-based exchange confirmed that it suspended accounts associated with the FTX crypto exchange & FTX executives to protect their creditors.
A spokesman from Kraken exchange shared some information regarding this matter with the popular news media website Cointelegraph. He said that the Kraken team was closely monitoring the whole matter that happened with the FTX exchange.
Kraken official confirmed that action has been taken to protect customers’ funds and also said that it will only retard the access of certain funds “we suspect to be associated with ‘fraud, negligence or misconduct’ related to FTX.”
Just a couple of days ago, the FTX exchange team confirmed on the telegram channel that the exchange was compromised and hackers successfully made money. Tether, the USDT issuer company, froze some USDT funds on its network, which were stolen by the hackers.
