The CEO of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, Toto Wolff, has stated that the collapse of the former multi-billion dollar crypto exchange FTX can adversely affect many F1 teams. During its dominance as one of the largest crypto firms across the earth, the trading venture of Sam Bankman-Fried (“SBF”) made several marketing deals to attract the attention of investors.
Einer der Deals wurde mit dem Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team abgeschlossen und das Logo von FTX wurde auf den Autos abgebildet, die von einigen der beliebtesten und bekanntesten Rennfahrer der Welt gefahren wurden, darunter Lewis Hamilton und George Russel. Interessanterweise beendete Mercedes die Partnerschaft mit der Börse Anfang November, als sie Insolvenz und Gläubigerschutz anmeldete.
In einem (n Interview, the Mercedes F1 team’s boss stated that many teams were connected with FTX and the collapse of the exchange could ignite a fire which would bring these teams trouble.
“Each team has such sponsors and the F1 organization as such. So everyone would be affected. FTX was considered a solid company, whose bankruptcy is a huge damper not only for us, but for the entire crypto industry. This bankruptcy, with a $ 8 billion shortfall, shows that the entire industry is uncontrolled,” said Wolff.
FTX showed signs of troubled when the CEO of the world’s biggest crypto exchange Binance, Changpeng Zhao, stated that he would sell his firm’s stake of FTX-Token (FTT). This caused a panic in the market which led to many people selling their tokens. Interestingly, almost all of the exchange’s worth was in FTT and in one day, the platform saw an outflow of $4 billion. This eventually led to a liquidity crunch leading to the Börseninsolvenz anmelden und Binance steigt aus Übernahmedeal aus.
Mercedes announced that it would cut all ties with the exchange, and Wolff said at that time that the automobile firm was in “utter disbelief” and added that the sector needs regulation. The F1 team removed FTX from the cars and other assets. However, Wolff sagte dass er fest an die Krypto- und Blockchain-Technologie glaubt.
Wolff said that the crypto space is unregulated and added that “it needs to find its way into regulations because there’s so many customers, investors and partners like us [Mercedes] that have been left in utter disbelief at what has happened.”
“As a first step, we have suspended our partnership agreement with FTX. This means the company will no longer appear on our race car and other branded assets from this weekend. We will continue to monitor closely the situation as it evolves,” Mercedes announced earlier.
