According to a report that has come out, a United States agency that looks into claims of misleading behavior acknowledged on Monday that it was looking into multiple crypto companies for potential malpractice. With the price of BTC falling precipitously this year (2022), the astounding downfall of the Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, has sent new ripples across the crypto market. Following a week when a potential merger with competing cryptocurrency exchange Binance fizzled, FTX went bankrupt.
According to founder and former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried or SBF, when their cryptocurrency company was having trouble raising money earlier in the previous month, it secured billions of USD worth of collateral through Alameda Research, which is the firm’s trading arm. It utilized it into trying to reassure investors about its financial stability.
The multinational consumer banking corporation, Standard Chartered PLC, warns that 2023 could be a painful shock for investors who believe that the crypto meltdown is largely finished. According to a note by Eric Robertsen, who is the Head of Global Research and Chief Strategist at Standard Chartered PLC, one of the unexpected possibilities that markets could be underpricing is an additional BTC decline of roughly 70 percent to 5,000 US dollars in the coming year.
