US House Committee to Investigate and Hold Bipartisan Hearing on FTX Collapse


The U.S. House Financial Services Committee is planning to investigate the FTX collapse, according to a joint press release published by the committee’s chair Maxine Waters and representative Patrick McHenry. Furthermore, a congressional hearing is scheduled to take place in December, according to the joint statement. Bipartisan Congressional Hearing to Be Held in December Over the FTX Fallout


On Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) and representative Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), published a joint statement that says a bipartisan hearing has been announced that will investigate the “collapse of FTX and the broader consequences for the digital asset ecosystem.”


The U.S. House Financial Services Committee “expects to hear from the companies and individuals involved, including Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda Research, Binance, FTX, and related entities, among others,” the joint statement from Waters and McHenry details.


“The fall of FTX has posed tremendous harm to over one million users, many of whom were everyday people who invested their hard-earned savings into the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, only to watch it all disappear within a matter of seconds,” congresswoman Waters said in a statement. The California-based Democrat added: Unfortunately, this event is just one out of many examples of cryptocurrency platforms that have collapsed just this past year. That’s why it is with great urgency that I, along with my colleague Ranking Member McHenry, announce the Committee’s intention to hold a hearing to investigate the collapse of FTX.


Waters also led the charge in investigating and reporting on the meme stock and Gamestop market event last year. In regard to the FTX collapse, the Republican representative McHenry stressed that the House Financial Services Committee plans to get to the bottom of the FTX fiasco.


“Oversight is one of Congress’ most critical functions and we must get to the bottom of this for FTX’s customers and the American people,” McHenry said. “It’s essential that we hold bad actors accountable so responsible players can harness technology to build a more inclusive financial system,” McHenry added.


FTX filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 11, 2022, after it was once a firm that had a $32 billion valuation. Furthermore, after the filing was registered, the same daynearly $500 million in crypto tokens were suspected to be stolen from FTX wallets.
