Le PDG de Binance partage les leçons de l'effondrement de FTX

• Le PDG de Binance, CZ, a déconseillé aux entreprises de cryptographie d'utiliser leurs jetons natifs comme garantie et d'emprunter.

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.

Deux grandes leçons :

1 : N'utilisez jamais un jeton que vous avez créé en garantie.

2: Don’t borrow if you run a crypto business. Don't use capital "efficiently". Have a large reserve.

Binance n'a jamais utilisé la BNB comme garantie et nous n'avons jamais contracté de dette.

Rester #SAFU.🙏

Binance a soumis une lettre d'intention non contraignante acquérir FTX 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 est devenu l'une des figures les plus vocales et les plus puissantes du monde de la cryptographie. En plus d'acquérir des entreprises en difficulté, SBF a étendu son influence dans l'espace politique américain, utilisant son pouvoir financier pour pousser les politiciens qui soutiennent ses idéologies. Bloomberg signalé que SBF pourrait voir sa richesse diminuer si Binance réussissait à acquérir FTX.

Bankman-Fried détenait une part 53% dans FTX. Avant l'annonce d'une prise de contrôle potentielle, FTX était évalué à $6,2 milliards. SBF a également conservé sa propriété d'Alameda Research, augmentant sa richesse de $7,4 milliards supplémentaires.

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.
