CEO von Binance teilt Lehren aus dem Zusammenbruch von FTX
- Binance CEO CZ riet Kryptofirmen davon ab, ihre nativen Token als Sicherheit zu verwenden und sich keine Kredite zu leihen.
- FTX hatte eine Liquiditätskrise, nachdem CZ getwittert hatte, dass Binance seine FTT-Bestände liquidieren würde.
- A recent Bloomberg post has revealed that Sam Bankman-Fried has lost a chunk of his fortune, taking him off the company’s top 500.
With the battle of the titans officially over, Binance CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has emerged as the superpower of the market after seeing off his biggest competitor, FTX. CZ later took to Twitter to share “two big lessons” from the FTX situation. The crypto billionaire advised exchanges against using their native tokens as collateral and also to keep large reserves.
Binance hat eine unverbindliche Absichtserklärung abgegeben FTX erwerben after the exchange had liquidity problems. Sharing from his wealth of experience, the 45-year-old CZ advised crypto companies against borrowing, adding that “Binance has never used BNB for collateral, and we have never taken on debt.”
FTX’s liquidity problems were triggered by a post made by CZ, in which he claimed Binance would liquidate its FTT holdings, citing “recent revelations.” FTX users recently complained about sluggish withdrawals, sparking fears the exchange did not have enough to cover user funds.
The specifics of the takeover are yet unknown, but it does not involve FTX.US, the exchange’s American subsidiary, which was valued at about $8 billion earlier this year.
SBF Falls From Bloomberg’s Billionaire List
Sam Bankman-Fried was one of the few crypto billionaires, with his wealth once said to have approached $20 billion. However, SBF might not have the luxury of his “billionaire” title anymore after losing 94% of his personal wealth due to the recent crisis. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, SBF no longer appears in the company’s top 500.
Bankman-Fried entwickelte sich zu einer der lautstärksten und mächtigsten Figuren in der Kryptowelt. Abgesehen von der Übernahme umkämpfter Firmen weitete SBF seinen Einfluss auf den politischen Raum der USA aus und nutzte seine finanzielle Macht, um Politiker zu drängen, die seine Ideologien unterstützen. Bloomberg gemeldet dass SBF sehen könnte, wie sein Vermögen schrumpft, sollte Binance FTX erfolgreich erwerben.
Bankman-Fried besaß eine 53%-Aktie an FTX. Bevor die Nachricht von einer möglichen Übernahme bekannt wurde, wurde FTX mit $6,2 Milliarden bewertet. SBF behielt auch sein Eigentum an Alameda Research und erhöhte sein Vermögen um weitere $7,4 Milliarden.
The Bloomberg wealth index values the two companies at just $1, which estimates that Bankman-Fried and current investors will lose everything due to the Binance acquisition. As a result, Bankman-Fried’s value decreased from $15.6 billion on November 8 to approximately $1 billion, marking the biggest single-day collapse that Bloomberg recorded.
