The collapse was a “pretty deep cut,” says Tim Byun, head of government relations at OK Group, parent company to OKX, which received a license to operate in the Bahamas only days before FTX collapsed. “I think it set back the ecosystem significantly.” Byun says OKX still wants to expand in the Bahamas, and he likes the country’s DARE regime.
