The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are probing FTX.com’s relationship with its American counterpart FTX U.S. and Bankman-Fried’s trading firm Alameda Research, the report said.

The report, citing people familiar with the matter, comes a day after crypto exchange Binance said it would acquire FTX.com.

A CFTC spokesperson declined to comment. The SEC and FTX.com did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
