Binance erwirbt seinen Konkurrenten FTX
- FTX und Binance haben zuvor um den Kauf der Vermögenswerte von Voyager Digital konkurriert. FTX gewann später die Ausschreibung.
- Some experts have accused CZ of deliberately undermining FTX’s finances.
- Die Übernahme bedeutet einen großen Sturz in Ungnade für Bannkman-Fried, der sich zu einem der wichtigsten Akteure der Branche entwickelt hat.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has agreed to acquire its rival, FTX, a day after both companies were supposedly set to feud. Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao announced in a twittern dass Binance würde ihre FTS-Bestände liquidieren. Stunden später ging FTX-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried zu Twitter, um zur Zusammenarbeit zwischen beiden Börsen aufzufordern und Gerüchte über einen Konflikt zu unterdrücken.
CZ appears to have consolidated his place as the leading figure in the crypto market after announcing the possibility of taking over the suddenly embattled FTX. CZ’s previous tweet seems to have caused a liquidity crunch in the exchange run by his former disciple and rival, Bankman-Fried.
Der Deal wird, wenn er abgeschlossen ist, einen atemberaubenden Sturz in Ungnade für Bankman-Fried bedeuten, der sich als eine der herausragenden Figuren in der Kryptoindustrie herausstellte und oft bankrotten Kryptofirmen zu Hilfe kam. Ein Twitter Faden posted by the FTX boss, Bankman-Fried, revealed that FTX had “come to an agreement on a strategic transaction” with Binance after the company attempted to clear out its withdrawal backlog.
Bankman-Fried confirmed that he had asked Binance for help to “clear out liquidity crunches” and cover assets on a 1:1 basis. SBF explained in his thread that the “important thing is that customers are protected.”
The FTX CEO had kind words for his rival, CZ, noting that he “has done, and will continue to do, an incredible job of building out the global crypto ecosystem and creating a freer economic world.”
“I know that there have been rumors in media of conflict between our two exchanges, however Binance has shown time and again that they are committed to a more decentralized global economy while working to improve industry relations with regulators. We are in the best of hands,” SBF tweeted.
Binance CEO CZ shared a statement on Twitter confirming that FTX had approached Binance for help. The crypto billionaire said that Binance was “assessing the situation in real time” and could “pull out from the deal at any time.” According to CZ, FTT is expected to be volatile in the coming days.
Some experts have accused CZ of deliberately undermining FTX’s finances, causing investors to panic. Although SBF issued a statement assuring users that things “were fine,” it appeared that the three-year-old exchange had taken a strong blow.
Die Übernahme wird ein Wendepunkt auf dem Kryptomarkt sein. FTX und Binance waren größtenteils im Streit. Binance hatte mehrere Auseinandersetzungen mit Regulierungsbehörden, während Bankman-Fried auf eine Krypto-Regulierung gedrängt hat.
