O CEO da Binance "nunca foi contra" o agora infame fundador da FTX
- Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao stated that he was “never against” the former CEO of collapsed crypto exchange FTX despite industry players calling him the orchestrator of the entire drama.
- A Turkish-American economist Nouriel Roubini revealed his “seven Cs of crypto” ie. “concealed, corrupt, crooks, criminals, con men, carnival barkers, and Changpeng Zhao.”
- Mesmo que seu anúncio sobre a venda pública do token FTX FTT may have sparked a larger sale of the token and led to FTX’s liquidity issue, Zhao insisted that his actions were motivated neither by malice nor by rivalry.
As the accused FTX founder continues to complain on Twitter, Binance CEO and co-founder Changpeng Zhao has reiterated his viewpoint on Sam Bankman-Fried. Zhao told CNBC on Thursday that he was “never against” the now infamous SBF, whose $26 billion net worth has dropped to zero amid FTX’s collapse and charges of fraud and mismanagement of customer assets.
“We don’t focus on other smaller exchanges,” Zhao stated, in an interview.
It is important to note that the Binance head has been attacked by many critics citing him as the initiator of the FTX event. A Turkish-American economist Nouriel Roubini revealed his “seven Cs of crypto” ie. “concealed, corrupt, crooks, criminals, con men, carnival barkers, and Changpeng Zhao.”
Even if his public sale of FTX token FTT may have sparked a larger sale of the token and led to FTX’s liquidity issue, Zhao insisted that his actions were motivated neither by malice nor by rivalry.
“We were never in a battle with him. He may think he’s in a battle with us. We didn’t even notice. We did hear some concerns about, you know, him badmouthing us behind our backs in D.C., in other political lobbying circles,” Zhao admitted.
Binance apoiou inicialmente FTX
A Binance foi uma das primeiras apoiadoras do FTX. Zhao disse que decidiu em que ponto ele precisava sair when he realized things had gotten bad. He added: “We just said, ‘Look, we don’t wanna be entangled, we just want to exit our equity portion.’ We did that a year and a half ago. And as part of that transaction we got some FTT tokens,”
Zhao clarified he was unaware of the full scope of FTX’s off-the-record operations.
“I’m shocked that he lied to everybody, I didn’t know that he lied to everybody until a week ago,” he said.
Zhao fala sobre regulamentos
Binance’s CEO is a huge supporter of regulations and believes that the crypto space needs to be regulated almost immediately. In a recent statement, Zhao, who is known as CZ in the crypto space, said that stable and clear regulations for the industry are needed to prevent players from “cutting corners.”
Zhao foi questionado se ele achava que os regulamentos teriam evitado o colapso do FTX, e ele respondeu:
“Regulations could minimize some of the problems, but when a person lies—when there’s a bad player that just wants to do bad things—regulation doesn’t prevent it.”
A Binance tem apoiado cada vez mais empresas de criptomoedas e recentemente introduziu a quinta temporada do Programa de Incubação em que foram incluídos 12 projetos que seriam treinados para torná-lo grande no espaço criptográfico.
