The court also ordered that bids must be received by the parties interested between January 18 and February 1, 2023.

There are 117 parties interested in purchasing the units of businesses

Embed is being considered by 50 interested parties, while LedgerX has attracted 56 interest from 56. 40 interested parties are looking at FTX Europe as the local exchange while 41 have shown interest in FTX Japanese. Some of the parties to which the now bankrupt company has entered into confidentiality agreements included 59.
