Il CEO di FTX si scusa pubblicamente, prevede di "fare bene gli utenti"
- Il CEO dell'exchange di criptovalute FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, si è scusato pubblicamente su Twitter e ha posseduto tutti gli errori che ha commesso mentre era a capo dell'exchange ormai vicino al fallimento.
- 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.
Inoltre, nel thread di Twitter di giovedì, Bankman-Fried, noto anche come SBF nella comunità delle criptovalute, ha confermato che il braccio statunitense di FTX, FTX.US è completamente liquido e non sta affrontando alcun ritiro a differenza del braccio interno dell'exchange .
L'ex criptomiliardario ha visto la sua ricchezza diminuire in modo significativo negli ultimi giorni. SBF valeva quasi $26 miliardi al culmine della sua popolarità, ma da allora ha visto la sua ricchezza scendere a meno di un miliardario dopo che il token che ha creato, il token FTT, è stato ridotto in cenere in seguito all'annuncio del CEO di Binance, Changpeng Zhao, anche lui noto come CZ nello spazio, che la sua azienda venderebbe oltre $2 miliardi in FTT.
Il CEO di FTX rompe il silenzio
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.”
Successivamente, l'ex star delle criptovalute, che è stato uno dei maggiori donatori nelle recenti elezioni presidenziali negli Stati Uniti, ha continuato a rilasciare un aggiornamento sul futuro della sua azienda e sulla sua esistenza e anche su quando saranno consentiti i prelievi.
“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 “scarsa etichettatura interna” 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.
Il secondo errore commesso da SBF può essere visto nel post di Twitter incorporato di seguito. I suoi errori di calcolo hanno portato alla crisi di liquidità in cui si trova attualmente lo scambio.
Fare bene dagli utenti
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.
Ha anche confermato che FTX è attualmente in trattative con più parti per risolvere i suoi problemi. Secondo indiscrezioni di mercato, l'esecutivo lo è lavorando a un accordo con il fondatore di Tron Justin Sun.
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 io 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.
Andando avanti
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 rimane liquido 100%
Grazie alle rigide politiche normative della SEC degli Stati Uniti, FTX US rimane liquido 100% e i prelievi vengono elaborati per gli utenti.
While ending his Twitter thread, FTX CEO Bankman-Fried threw a shot at Binance CEO, Zhao, calling him a “sparring partner.”
