CEO da Binance compartilha lições do colapso da FTX
- O CEO da Binance, CZ, aconselhou as empresas de criptomoedas a não usar seus tokens nativos como garantia e contra empréstimos.
- A FTX teve uma crise de liquidez depois que CZ twittou que a Binance liquidaria suas participações em FTT.
- A recent Bloomberg post has revealed that Sam Bankman-Fried has lost a chunk of his fortune, taking him off the company’s top 500.
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.
A Binance enviou uma carta de intenção não vinculativa adquirir 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 emergiu como uma das figuras mais vocais e poderosas do mundo das criptomoedas. Além de adquirir firmas em apuros, a SBF expandiu sua influência no espaço político dos EUA, usando seu poder financeiro para pressionar políticos que apoiam suas ideologias. Bloomberg relatado que a SBF poderia ver sua riqueza diminuir caso a Binance adquirisse com sucesso a FTX.
Bankman-Fried possuía uma participação 53% na FTX. Antes da notícia de uma possível aquisição, a FTX foi avaliada em $6,2 bilhões. A SBF também manteve sua propriedade da Alameda Research, aumentando sua riqueza em mais $7,4 bilhões.
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.
