Notably, the sharp rise came amid news that dozens of <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/">FTX</a> clients have <a href="https://crypto.news/former-ftx-customers-seek-crypto-repayment-amid-current-market-rally/">asked</a> a U.S. bankruptcy judge to stop the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange from using 2022 prices to value their cryptocurrency deposits.

They argue that by doing so, FTX is preventing its clients from benefiting from the recovery in cryptocurrency prices. In particular, the most prominent cryptocurrencies owned by <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/">FTX</a> clients—Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>), Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Ethereum/">ETH</a>), and Solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Solana/">SOL</a>) — have seen significant increases in value since FTX’s bankruptcy. 
In December 2023, the exchange reached an agreement with creditors, and all the hype surrounding FTX now revolves around its possible relaunch. At the beginning of November 2023, the head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/">SEC</a>), Gary Gensler, <a href="https://crypto.news/genslers-nod-to-ftx-revival-sparks-market-frenzy/">said</a> that he is not against the relaunch of FTX by the former head of the NYSE if everything is done according to the law. 
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried <a href="https://crypto.news/ftx-founder-sam-bankman-fried-is-guilty-to-all-charges-crypto-community-reacts/">was found guilty</a> of seven counts of money laundering, fraud, and conspiracy and faces a maximum penalty of 115 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for March 28, with his lawyers expected to appeal the verdict.
