Now-defunct crypto exchange FTX is set to sell one of its Digital Custody Inc. (DCI) unit for a fraction of its original price.
DCI, which was purchased by FTX for $10 million in August 2022, will now be sold to the token sale platform CoinList for a mere $500,000.
Initially, FTX acquired DCI to provide custodial services for FTX.US and U.S.-based LedgerX.

DCI’s Operations Declines After Sale of LedgerX.

Culver will provide financing to CoinList through convertible notes for the acquisition.
The deal includes a $50,000 break-up fee in the event of a failed transaction.
FTX Aims to Repay All Creditors.
FTX has expressed its intention to repay all its creditors and has been actively seeking to divest some of its subsidiaries as part of the ongoing bankruptcy process.
Recently, the exchange sought approval to sell its 8% stake in AI startup Anthropic Holdings.
In a motion filed by FTX’s current CEO, the exchange requested permission to sell the stake and proposed two possible procedures, including an auction or a private sale.
The exchange also requested a shortened period for objections to be raised, with a court hearing scheduled for February 22 to expedite the deliberation process.
