Financial Services Commission to investigate FTX collapsesteemCreated with Sketch.

in hive-175254 •  2 years ago 

Hello dear readers, as of today it was publicly announced that the U.S. Congress announced that it will investigate the collapse of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange platform that filed for bankruptcy last week, leaving losses that could amount to billions of dollars.

The House Financial Services Committee indicated Wednesday that it expects to question Sam Bankman-Fried, the 30-year-old founder and CEO of FTX, who was seen as a hero in the cryptocurrency community but could now face civil and criminal charges.

The commission also wants to question representatives of FTX and other cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Alameda Research at hearings scheduled for December.

The FTX crash has caused great harm to more than a million users, many of whom were ordinary people who invested their hard-earned savings in the FTX platform, only to see it disappear in a matter of seconds, committee chairwoman Maxine Waters, a Democrat, said in a statement.

FTX filed for protection from creditors on Friday, rocking the cryptocurrency world, which has suffered major shocks this year, including a precipitous drop in the price of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.

Hi @tfame3865

The situation of creating more and more regulation will come to the market.

Best regards, be well.

This is a big stain and set back towards crypto adoption.

Hi @lebey1

That's right, this will remain a stain for the cryptocurrency market.

Hopefully it can be clarified after the corresponding interpellations for this FTX bankruptcy case.

Greetings friend @lupafilotaxia and thanks for sharing important information.

Hello @carlos84

I don't see the picture getting clearer, this will remain as a blot for the cryptocurrency market.

Regulators seem happy seizing the perfect opportunity presented by FTX to crack down on crypto even more aggressively than ever before...

Hello @qsyal
