FTX says Bahamas regulators hold $296 million, not $3.5 billion of company's assets

(Reuters) - FTX on Friday disputed the Securities Commission of the Bahamas' claims that the regulator was holding $3.5 billion of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange's assets.

When the digital assets of FTX were transferred to the regulator in November, their value was just $296 million, FTX said in a statement.
