FTX-CEO entschuldigt sich öffentlich und plant, „das Richtige für die Benutzer zu tun“
- Der CEO der Krypto-Börse FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, entschuldigte sich öffentlich auf Twitter und stand für alle Fehler ein, die er gemacht hatte, als er für die kurz vor dem Bankrott stehende Börse verantwortlich war.
- He said that due to “poor internal labeling” of bank-related accounts, he was “substantially off” on his sense of users’ margin which led to $5 billion in withdrawals on Sunday.
- The executive further added that his firm’s number 1 priority is to “do right by the users” and revealed that the exchange is in talks with several parties for a bailout deal.
- Going forward, SBF confirmed that Alameda Research won’t be trading on FTX exchange anymore and if the firm remains operations, 100% on-chain transparency will be maintained.
After a long period of silence, the CEO of crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, issued a public apology on Twitter stating that he should’ve been more careful and also, commented on the future of the exchange and how the Bahamas-based firm will get its neck out of the trouble it is in.
Darüber hinaus bestätigte Bankman-Fried, in der Krypto-Community auch als SBF bekannt, am Donnerstag im Twitter-Thread, dass der US-Arm von FTX, FTX.US, vollständig liquide ist und im Gegensatz zum internen Arm der Börse nicht vor einem Rückzugsstopp steht .
Der ehemalige Krypto-Milliardär musste in den letzten Tagen einen deutlichen Rückgang seines Vermögens hinnehmen. SBF war auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Popularität fast $26 Milliarden wert, aber seitdem sah er, wie sein Vermögen auf weniger als einen Milliardär schrumpfte, nachdem der von ihm geschaffene Token, der FTT-Token, nach der Ankündigung von Changpeng Zhao, dem CEO von Binance, ebenfalls zu Asche wurde bekannt als CZ im Raum, dass seine Firma über $2 Milliarden in FTT verkaufen würde.
FTX-CEO bricht sein Schweigen
The FTX executive stated that he has been silent for the past few days because Binance demanded it and he “wasn’t particularly allowed to say much publicly.” While apologizing, the crypto personality stated, “But of course it’s on me that we ended up there in the first place.”
Danach veröffentlichte der ehemalige Krypto-Star, der einer der größten Spender bei den jüngsten Präsidentschaftswahlen in den USA war, ein Update über die Zukunft seiner Firma und ihre Existenz sowie darüber, wann die Auszahlungen zulässig sein werden.
“FTX International currently has a total market value of assets/collateral higher than client deposits (moves with prices!). But that’s different from liquidity for delivery–as you can tell from the state of withdrawals. The liquidity varies widely, from very to very little,” said SBF.
The FTX CEO accepted that he made two mistakes that proved to be the death knell for his exchange. Firstly, he stated that due to “schlechte interne Beschriftung” of bank-related accounts, he was “substantially off” on his sense of users’ margin. “I thought it was way lower,” he said. This resulted in over $5 billion worth of withdrawals on Sunday, which was the largest every for the exchange.
Der zweite Fehler, den SBF gemacht hat, ist im unten eingebetteten Twitter-Beitrag zu sehen. Seine Fehleinschätzungen führten zu der Liquiditätskrise, in der sich die Börse derzeit befindet.

He once again apologized for not communicating enough and said that his number 1 priority is to “do right by the users.”
“So, right now, we’re spending the week doing everything we can to raise liquidity. I can’t make any promises about that. But I’m going to try. And give anything I have to if that will make it work,” said the FTX executive.
Er bestätigte auch, dass FTX derzeit mit mehreren Parteien Gespräche führt, um seine Probleme zu lösen. Laut Marktgerüchten ist die Exekutive einen Deal mit Tron-Gründer Justin Sun auszuarbeiten.
Bankman-Fried also confirmed that every penny received from the parties and with the collateralization of the assets, “will go straight to users,” until all the users haven’t been made full. After the customers, SBF will see that the exchange does right by its employees and investors as well.
“Because at the end of the day, I was CEO, which means that ich was responsible for making sure that things went well. I, ultimately, should have been on top of everything. I clearly failed in that. I’m sorry,” Bankman-Fried said.
Vorwärts gehen
Going forward, FTX CEO confirmed that Alameda Research won’t be trading on FTX exchange anymore and “in any scenario in which FTX continues operating, its first priority will be radical transparency–transparency it probably always should have been giving.” He stated that the exchange, if operational, will provide “as close to on-chain transparency as it can, so that people know exactly what is happening on it.”
“All of the stakeholders would have a hard look at FTX governance. I will not be around if I’m not wanted. All of the stakeholders–investors, regulators, users–would have a large part to play in how it would be run,” confirmed Bankman-Fried.
FTX US bleibt 100% Liquid
Dank der strengen Regulierungsrichtlinien der US-amerikanischen SEC bleibt FTX US 100% liquide und Abhebungen werden für die Benutzer verarbeitet.
While ending his Twitter thread, FTX CEO Bankman-Fried threw a shot at Binance CEO, Zhao, calling him a “sparring partner.”
