Crypto exchange FTX could retain its $32 billion valuation if a fresh billion-dollar fundraising round goes through.
CNBC reported on Thursday that FTX is in talks to raise the capital, just as the price of bitcoin hovers at its lowest point since December 2020.
Discussions reportedly aren’t final and could still fall apart.
If FTX does secure its target investment, the valuation would match previous fundraising round in January.

The exchange was also reportedly looking to acquire investing app Robinhood, in which CEO Sam Bankman-Fried had personally acquired a 7.6% stake in May.
