Wu’s resignation followed the news 134 companies associated with the FTX Group — including FTX Trading, FTX US and Alameda Research — would be filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware. Sam Bankman-Fried resigned as CEO in the same announcement, but said “this doesn't necessarily have to mean the end for the companies.”

As a $2-billion venture capital fund aimed at investments in Web3 projects, FTX Ventures backed projects including LayerZero Labs and purchased a 30% stake in SkyBridge Capital. In August, the firm reportedly absorbed the venture capital operations of Alameda Research amid the crypto bear market. Wu said at the time the two firms were still running at “arm’s length.”
