Kayamori told shareholders the acquisition closed on 4 April 2022, a few days later than planned.
Liquid (operated by Quoine) was a Japan-regulated cryptocurrency exchange offering spot trading under a local license. After a major 2021 breach, FTX extended financing and then bought the business, planning to rebrand operations toward FTX Japan / FTX Singapore before FTX’s own collapse complicated the franchise.
