Goldman Sachs sought to woo FTX at Caribbean meeting
Solomon offered regulatory help to Bankman-Fried and discussed potential IPO of crypto exchange
Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon met billionaire FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried in March to discuss forging closer ties between the Wall Street bank and the barely three-year-old cryptocurrency exchange valued at $32bn.
The meeting, which took place in the Caribbean, according to people familiar with the matter, is the latest sign of the growing influence of crypto companies in the traditional financial services sector.
During the meeting, Solomon and Bankman-Fried discussed Goldman advising FTX in its discussions with US regulators, in particular the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the US derivatives watchdog, according to two people familiar with the matter.
In March, FTX filed a proposal to the CFTC that would allow it to sell leveraged crypto derivatives to retail investors and settle their trades directly, cutting out intermediate financial brokers such as Goldman.
CFTC must be how Gensler gets added to the picture.
(Former) CFTC commissioner Gary Gensler served as Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) from May 26, 2009, to January 3, 2014
