Reply to Huobi Claims from FTX CEO SBF!

In mid-August, Bloomberg reported that the Chinese crypto giant Huobiannounced that it plans to sell approximately 60% of its shares.

Bloomberg also reports on the popular cryptocurrency Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun and cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried He also stated that the FTX exchange was among those who contacted Huobi about the purchase and sale of shares.

However, a Huobi spokesperson did not provide details, although the exchange’s founder, Leon Li, confirmed that he had contacted several international institutions about the sale of shares.

In this context too Justin Sun and whether SBF was interested in acquiring Houbi was unconfirmed.

Thereupon, Huobi changed the e-mail addresses of its employees from Huobi .com to htx-inc .com last week. In this context, it was said that FTX had completed the acquisition of Huobi.

However, clarifying the events, SBF, the founder of FTX, said in a statement on Twitter today that they do not plan to buy Huobi.

“It seems like a lot of people are talking about FTX buying Huobi, but just to be clear: No, we don’t plan to buy Huobi.”

Just to be explicit because apparently a lot of people are saying this:

No, we are not planning to acquire Huobi.
