Why the FTTUSDT price directly depends on the result of the "showdown" between Binance CZ CEO and Sam Bankman-Fried with FTX ?
On 06.11 evening, the head of Binance published a series of tweets in which he wrote that Binance as part of a strategy to exit investments in FTX received 2.1B in BUSD and FTT. And due to "unethical" actions, Sam Bankman-Fried plan to sell their stake in tokens FTT of $ 600M within 1-2 months on the open market.
CEO at Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison, has publicly called for CZ to sell all FTT tokens at $22 to reduce the market impact on the FTX exchange's native token rate.
The current showdown between owners of major cryptocurrency exchanges is happening when the cryptocurrency market is "fragile" and tough regulation from the U.S., including DeFi market, is still looming.
Sam Bankman-Fried with FTX has taken a proactive regulatory stance, trying to significantly limit the rights and freedoms of DeFi protocol creators so that US users / other territories with strict laws cannot use DeFi infrastructure. And the winning side of course would be centralized exchanges a-la FTX.
He also hinted in one of his tweets that he lobbies for interests in Washington, and for the head of Binance - entry to those chambers is closed, which has caused the current CZ / FTX / Alameda feud.
The principle of the current actions of the head of Binance is quite simple - collapsing quotes FTTUSD. Also actions CEO Binance causes a mass "flight" from the exchange FTX in its favor, and also many lenders may withdraw their loans from FTX, due to the depreciation of collateral in the FTT.
Better that CZ / FTX as soon as possible stopped this "war" because such a battle will not only hurt the price of FTT or the exchange FTX, which is being abandoned by the traders and their liquidity.
A lot more crypto community participants are likely to suffer. Because in such a weak crypto market, coins with smaller liquidity and capitalization can go down very, very hard, and almost all of us have them.
If we look at the global chart of the FTTUSDT price, it becomes clear why the price of $22 per FTT is critical. Below you can see the liquidity level is only about $10. In general, the strong liquidity area where "big money" was taking a long position is in the $2.5-4 range.
We don't want to see another collapse like with "Luna".
We hope for a quick and peaceful outcome of this conflict, but each participant in the crypto community should make conclusions for themselves.
