Binance Boss: We're Waiting For The Domino Effect Of The FTX Collapse
On Friday (11/11/2022), FTX officially filed for bankruptcy in US courts. This is more complete with the resignation of Sam Bankman-Fried from the position of CEO of the company.
Not new, a liquidity crisis led to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange giant, followed by the abuse of the platform's users' assets and a failed acquisition deal with Binance.
Watcher News reports that John Ray III is the new CEO of FTX, while Sam will assist behind the scenes with the transition and bankruptcy filings.
This is another big case after the collapse of the Terra LUNA ecosystem which led to the collapse of the crypto market in the middle of the crypto winter. The FTX scandal also brought a sell-off in the crypto market as investor concerns continued to form.
Based on a Watcher News report, the Binance boss has warned that the collapse of the FTX could bring a domino effect to the crypto market.
Seeing how big FTX is and its influence in the crypto market, the domino effect of course begins with this crypto exchange, it can spread to other companies in the crypto industry.
Zhao has compared the current situation to the 2008 financial crisis, citing a “strong analogy” for the similarities between the two conditions.
“…I think it [other companies] will take a few weeks for most of them to come out [bankrupt],” Zhao said.
However, Zhao assured that the fate of the crypto industry will not be determined by events such as the FTX scandal and collapse. According to him, the crypto market will rise by itself.
