## [TL; DR]
FTX is set to sell back its stake in Mysten Labs to raise funds to compensate its former customers. 

FTX invested in Mysten Labs in August 2022 before it collapsed. 
Mysten Labs is the creator of SUI, a layer 1 blockchain.

The SUI token is not yet listed on mainstream crypto exchanges. 

 
## Introduction 
FTX debtors are working hard to recover some of the funds through a legal channel. As things stand, there is hope that FTX will raise money to compensate its former customers for the financial losses they incurred. In this post, we look at [how close FTX is to raise the required funds. ](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/1792/ftx-event-and-its-domino-effects "how close FTX is to raise the required funds. ")

## FTX ready to sell its stake in Mysten Labs
According to the presentation made to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, FTX is ready to sell its preferred shares, valued at $95 million back to Mysten Labs, the company behind [the Sui blockchain.](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-sui-blockchain/268 "the Sui blockchain.") In addition to the $95 million, Mysten Labs will also cede $1 million worth of SUI as part of the sale agreement. The FTX debtors have already agreed to the deal which now awaits the approval of the court and higher bids. 

Recently, the court said, “The Debtors carefully considered and analyzed the offer as set forth in the Agreement in comparison to its other options and concluded that a sale of the Interests will result in obtaining maximum value for the Interests, and is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and creditors.”

It further stated, “The Purchase Price is equal to approximately 95% of the amount FTX Ventures had originally invested in the Preferred Stock of Purchaser-Subject Company, plus 100% of the amount Sellers paid for the SUI Token Warrants.”

FTX Ventures Ltd, the arm of FTX, purchased stakes worth $101 million in Mysten Labs in August 2022, a month [before the FTX crash.](https://www.gate.io/explore/ftx-sbf "before the FTX crash.") In fact, FTX Ventures Ltd led the fund rounding that raised $300 million. However, the debtors have agreed to  sell the stake at a loss since it is desperate to raise money to compensate the former FTX customers who lost their funds.

This offer, however, is set to expire in April. Mysten has agreed to effect the transaction as soon as possible. In addition, the court filing seems to indicate a willingness by both parties to abide by the agreement. 

It says, “The Debtors carefully considered and analyzed the offer as set forth in the Agreement in comparison to its other options and concluded that a sale of the Interests will result in obtaining maximum value for the Interests, and is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and creditors.”

The FTX debtors have also announced that they aim to recover $460 million from Madulo Capital. This was an investment made by Alameda Research under the direction of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO. 

## What is Mysten Labs?
Let’s briefly look at what Mysten Labs is.
