Free banking in the crypto world
All stablecoins and crypto exchanges will eventually be fully backed. The question is when.
THE crypto world has just gone through some turbulent days.
The value of FTT, a digital token, crashed after Changpeng Zhao (CZ), chief executive officer of Binance, tweeted about liquidating his company’s holdings of FTT, sending shockwaves across the cryptocurrency market. FTX, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges and the issuer of FTT, soon suffered a liquidity crunch as the value of FTT plunged.
It is certainly not the first time that concerns around a crypto exchange’s asset holdings resulted in a market crash, but the impact this time seems to be larger.
