The court granted the permission to the FTX exchange on September 13th, at the Delaware Bankruptcy room withstanding that FTX can now liquidate its $3.4 worth of cryptocurrency holdings.

Judge John Dorsey made the ruling on the pending approval. Before granting the approval he dismissed objections to the matter that was made against this plan. Furthermore, he remarked that the sooner the new process rolls out the better it is for the defendant.

FTX exchange has a weekly limit of collecting $50 million from their digital currency sales. At the same time, the sales limit might be increased in the upcoming weeks if the courts grant an approval on the matter in association with assent from creditors and members of ad hoc committee.

Meanwhile, FTX exchange will be able to sell its Bitcoin and Ether reserves in addition to the insider tokens after a 10-day notice sent to committee and trustees. The members of trustees are appointed by Department of Justice.
