After Sam Bankman-repercussions, Fried's FTX's Gary Gensler discussed the crypto meltdown and the way forward. The US SEC is already looking into how the FTX US subsidiary handled customer assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission is also looking into possible connections between FTX and other businesses owned by Sam Bankman-Fried. According to reports, the probe is focused on the events leading up to the cryptocurrency exchange's liquidity constraint.
A crypto drop resulted from the statement that Binance was considering buying FTX and the subsequent news that FTX might go bankrupt. However, Binance declared that it was abandoning the FTX acquisition. SEC chairman Gary Gensler discussed the state of the cryptocurrency industry in the meanwhile. In an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Gensler asserted that cryptocurrency investors need to be protected. The runway is growing shorter, he claimed.
Crypto firms, according to the SEC chair, have been warned. He continued by saying that accumulating facts and evidence would take time. He continued by saying that many clients lost money in the highly connected world of cryptocurrency, which has a small number of consolidated participants. Gensler emphasised the necessity of investor protection in the sector. Cryptography, he claimed, is a field that is largely out of compliance yet is connected to regulation. It frequently takes time to build the facts and the evidence. ICO companies must cooperate with the SEC.
The SEC head added that gathering evidence against cryptocurrency participants takes time since businesses interact with one another. He referred to the use of investor money and money that was secretly borrowed against it as a "toxic combination."
