On Nov. 9, 2022, The Straits Times (TST) business correspondent Claire Huang reported that a spokesperson from Temasek Holdings has been engaging with FTX.

Temasek has been investing in cryptocurrency and blockchain industry-related companies for the last few years. For instance, the government-owned firm led a Series C round that saw Immutable (Immutable X) raise $200 million.
