The sudden collapse of the FTX exchange has sent shock waves throughout the Bitcoin crypto world. The Bankman-Fried-led crypto empire hailed as an industry leader has filed for bankruptcy, creating widespread panic in crypto circles.

This collapse was aided by Ian Allison’s article showing that around $5.8 billion from the $14.6 billion assets of Almeda Research were tied to FTX’s exchange token FTT.

This figure represents the second-largest BTC inflow in history. This is because Crypto markets have become a bit more settled recently.

The crypto market’s total capitalization also increased, with figures up to $880 billion.

The crypto market has featured massive uncertainty. Recently, crypto investors have had low trust in crypto investing due to failed projects. However, the gains recorded in BTC signaled a massive relief to investors in recent days.

Bitcoin Holders Become Cautious

According to Glassnode reports, major crypto exchanges record a massive decline in their total BTC balance. A shortage of 73,000 BTC; was recorded by exchanges in one week.

Ethereum also recorded a similar decline on exchanges, with a massive 1.1 million ETH in the past week. Big players like Binance and Kraken have offered Proof-of-reserves. However, investors are now cautious since the FTX crisis.

A Recap On FTX Crash

Investors had been wary of the relationship between FTX and Almeda Research since they were both founded by Bankman-Fried. It is alleged that FTX lent up to $10 billion to Almeda.

These funds were used without the knowledge of investors. This signaled one of the largest misappropriation of funds in history.

This shocking revelation was the last straw that led to a sudden exodus of investors from FTX – the world’s second-largest exchange. Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, after this revelation, decided to withdraw his entire FTT holdings leading to widespread market chaos.

FTX crypto exchange handled $6 billion worth of withdrawals in just 72 hours. The downslide continued amid fears that FTX had transferred funds under the radar to Almeda as a loan to cushion losses.

Rival exchange Binance founder Changpeng Zhao had earlier declared interest in acquiring FTX. However, the deal is now off. The suspension was based on irregularities in the company’s financial standings.
