The blockchain industry has been experiencing many challenges due to the fallout from one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, FTX.

Many notable industry experts and stakeholders have weighed in on what they thought caused the current crisis at FTX. Some have also highlighted what they think the industry will look like in the future.

The CEO of the largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, chang peng zhao, has shared his thoughts on how the cryptocurrency market would recover following the demise of FTX. Zhao expressed his views during the most recent Indonesia Fintech Summit. Zhao said the FTX incident was disastrous for the industry and significantly undermined customer confidence.

“I think we’ve essentially gone back a couple of years. Regulators will look at this industry much more closely in the future, which is probably for the best, to be honest,” Zhao says during the interview.

Zhao also highlighted that while retail investors may experience a short-term setback from the FTX crash, he believes that discussions on how to manage risks across the crypto ecosystem should start now to avoid similar occurrences.

A call to action for cryptocurrency exchanges

Amid the ongoing saga with FTX, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a US government agency with responsibility for preserving the financial industry, issued a warning letter to five cryptocurrency companies to stop making false claims about your customers. that they are insured. The companies in error include FTX US, Cryptonews.com, Cryptosec.info, SmartAsset.com, and FDICCrypto.com.

The FDIC letter highlighted a tweet from FTX.US on the situation in which FTX.US Chairman Brett Harrison stated that “direct employer contributions to FTX and stock are stored in FDIC-insured accounts “.

FTX.US and SmartAsset.com responded to the letter saying they had removed the content from their online platforms.

In an attempt to ensure security in the crypto space, Cyprus officials are reportedly on the verge of suspending FTX’s European license due to its recent instability.
