(Reuters) -Cryptocurrency lender BlockFi said on Monday it has significant exposure to Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto exchange FTX, and associated entities, that last week filed for bankruptcy.

FTX founder Bankman-Fried also resigned as chief executive, after the biggest blowup in the crypto industry drew calls for tighter regulation.
