In late 2022, the rapid collapse of FTX, once a leading crypto exchange, shocked the entire digital currency sector.

FTX's Rise

Founded by Sam Bankman-Fried in 2019, FTX quickly became one of the most renowned crypto exchanges due to aggressive marketing and unique financial products. The platform was known for its innovative products, low fees, and user-friendliness.

Crisis Emergence

In November 2022, a leaked balance sheet from Alameda Research, FTX's sister firm, revealed that much of its assets were concentrated in FTX's native token (FTT). This sparked concerns about liquidity and the interdependence between FTX and Alameda.

Collapse and Its Impact

The announcement by Binance's CEO about liquidating its FTT holdings caused panic. FTX suspended withdrawals and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Investigations revealed FTX had used billions in customer funds to cover Alameda's losses. The founder of FTX was charged with fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy.

The collapse of FTX became a significant event in crypto history, highlighting trust issues and the risks of centralization in a decentralized world.
