ФТКС се топи, крипто тржиште у страху од масовне заразе: резиме ове недеље

The past seven days were undoubtedly the most emotional, unexpected, and for many – devastating in a long time. One of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges – FTX – filed for a voluntary Chapter 11 Bankruptcy with the US after failing to honor customer withdrawals and revealing a multi-billion liquidity hole.

It’s not particularly clear how it all went down and when exactly FTX started having issues due to the complete lack of transparency on behalf of now-former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. There’s also not a lot of information on how much money the exchange has been funneling to SBF-owned trading firm Alameda Research, which is also part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

One thing is certain, though – the exchange has left thousands, if not millions, of people without access to their crypto investments, and it remains unclear if and when they could get any of it back.

In a clear blow to the industry’s integrity, many participants are in disbelief, predicting even tougher times ahead as contagion will start spreading in terms of valuation also in terms of regulation.

It’s worth noting that Binance signed an LOI to acquire FTX in full but pulled out of the deal after conducting due diligence. CZ said that the hole in the exchange’s book is too considerable to move forward.

Surely, more information and details will be shared as the bankruptcy procedure starts and advances with the relevant authorities. Meanwhile, SBF has resigned as CEO.

Expectedly, the market didn’t take the news well. At the time of this writing, BTC’s price is trading at $16.7K, down 17% for the week. Ethereum is down 19%, BNB – 15%, XRP – 18%, DOGE – 32%, DOT – 13%, SOL – 46%, and so forth.

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization was reduced to $880 billion, down $160B in seven days. Moreover, the FTX Bankruptcy procedure also includes approximately 130 entities that the company was associated with and the fear of contagion for the industry is peaking.
