November 14, 2022
Furthermore, the value of altcoins such as Dogecoin, Cardano, Solana, and XRP also declined by more than 10%. “The FTX collapse has wiped out over $180 billion from the crypto market as digital assets across the board are under tremendous pressure. Ethereum is trading at $1,170.12 this is a drop of over 10% in the last 24 hours. Historical data shows that Ethereum follows Bitcoin’s trajectory,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, a crypto exchange company told FE Blockchain.
It should also be noted that the overall market capitalisation has fallen below $1 trillion thereby hitting below $900 billion market for the first time since, 2021.
As per industry experts, the downfall of FTX can cause its volume to dry up. “Users who are in the business of lending and borrowing of FTT will go through liquidity crisis due to loss of funds. All this is because of the FTX-Binance drama,” Punit Agarwal, founder, KoinX, a cryptocurrency exchange, said.
Changpeng Zhao, co-founder and CEO, Binance on the collapse of the deal said, “As a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged U.S. agency investigations, we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX.com.”
