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 twittare che Binance lo farebbe liquidare le sue partecipazioni FTT. Ore dopo, il CEO di FTX Sam Bankman-Fried è andato su Twitter per chiedere la collaborazione tra entrambi gli scambi, reprimendo le voci di un conflitto.

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.

L'accordo, se completato, segnerà una straordinaria caduta in disgrazia per Bankman-Fried, che è emerso come una delle figure di spicco nel settore delle criptovalute, venendo spesso in aiuto di aziende crittografiche in bancarotta. Un Twitter filo 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.

Questo pomeriggio, FTX ha chiesto il nostro aiuto. C'è una forte crisi di liquidità. Per proteggere gli utenti, abbiamo firmato una LOI non vincolante, con l'intenzione di acquisire integralmente https://t.co/BGtFlCmLXB e aiuta a coprire la crisi di liquidità. Condurremo un DD completo nei prossimi giorni.

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.

L'acquisizione sarà un punto di svolta nel mercato delle criptovalute. FTX e Binance sono stati per la maggior parte ai ferri corti. Binance ha avuto diversi contatti con i regolatori, mentre Bankman-Fried ha spinto per la regolamentazione delle criptovalute.
