Crypto Market Value
The lowest crypto trading volume recorded in 2022 is due to some factors in the crypto market, including the sudden collapse of the FTX exchange and companies filing for bankruptcy protection.
Gary Gensler, Chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), speaking about the failure of the FTX exchange is not worth the current bear market in crypto, said that the failure of FTX will lead to restrictions on the company.
Charles Hoskinson, the creator of the blockchain platform Cardano, believes that the turmoil around FTX is the latest negative development in the bear market. Hoskinson said that FTX’s problems will affect the entire blockchain industry, as Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX, is an industry pioneer.
Kathleen Breitman, CEO of blockchain company Tezos, said that a small minority of crypto businesses will survive and thrive during the current crypto bear market. He added that the current bear market is still far from seeing a bull market even though the market has resumed since then.
