FTX's Asset Sale Approved By Judge: Abu Dhabi Strikes Big

According to a court filing on Tuesday, a Delaware bankruptcy judge has given the go-ahead for Abu Dhabi's investment arm to acquire FTX's assets in Sequoia Capital Fund for $45 million.

The sale to Al Nawwar Investments RSC Limited satisfies the restrictions set by U.S. bankruptcy law, said Judge John Dorsey, in response to FTX's request for a declaration on March 8, Coindesk reported.

The bankrupt crypto exchange has also asked for a delay on the sale of its stock-clearing business, Embed, which was intended to generate funds for outstanding creditors.
