FTX is acquiring Liquid

Liquid Group announced Wednesday that FTX is acquiring Quoine Corporation and Quoine Pte. in Singapore. Quoine was one of the first crypto exchanges to be registered by the Japanese Financial Supervisory Authority in 2017 and operate under the Liquid brand. The companies have not disclosed the value of the acquisition, but as of April 2019, Liquid's valuation was over $1 billion.

FTX is already familiar with Liquid. Last August, Liquid was hacked for nearly $100 million, and FTX provided $120 million in debt financing. FTX will integrate its products and transfer all existing Japanese users to Liquid. The transfer of users will take effect on March 30, 2022.

FTX has been buying up companies recently

Both FTX and FTX US have been buying companies recently. In August 2020, FTX acquired crypto portfolio management app Blockfolio for $150 million. FTX US recently acquired crypto derivatives exchange LedgerX. FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried even recently explained in the Financial Times that once FTX has overtaken competitors Coinbase and Binance, acquiring Goldman and CME is by no means out of the question.

Both companies also recently raised money in a financing round. FTX announced that it raised $400 million in a Series C funding round and is now valued at $32 billion. Participants in FTX's funding round included SoftBank, Paradigm, Tiger Global and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board. Last week, FTX's U.S. subsidiary, FTX US, also raised $400 million in its first-ever funding round and is now valued at $8 billion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
