The fall of FTX and the regulation of financial market infrastructures
March 22, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Convene events are organised for members of the LSE community.
Speaker: Dr David Murphy (Visiting Professor in Practice, LSE Law School)
Chair: Professor Jo Braithwaite (LSE)
The recent failure of the crypto group FTX brought some of the differences between traditional financial market infrastructure (‘FMI’) and crypto exchanges/clearing houses into stark contrast. This talk will discuss what we know about the causes of the collapse of FTX, how some of these would likely not have caused issues had the group been fully regulated as an FMI, and what this means for the future regulation of crypto exchanges.
