In its heyday, FTX was one of the most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, bringing in millions of users from dozens of countries. That changed in less than a week in November 2022 after the firm reported liquidity problems and was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Ulbricht was already in prison during Trump’s first term, causing some crypto users to question whether the soon-to-be president will actually commute his sentence. Ulbricht was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole following his 2015 conviction for money laundering, computer hacking and conspiracy to traffic narcotics.
