FTX seems to fall deeper into its despair pit without any anchor. The crypto exchange is facing several issues threatening the stability of the firm. First, there appears to be an ongoing war between FTX and the Binance crypto exchange. This is presumed to involve their respective CEOs, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and Changpeng Zhao (CZ). Binance announced its plans to liquidate FTT token holdings, which it has carried out. There’s still no explanation for Binance’s sudden lack of interest in the FTT tokens. However, some opine that Binance may consider holding FTT tokens as a liability on its record. Related Reading: What Happens To Dogecoin If Twitter Fails To Implement Crypto Plans?
