World's richest 29-year-old says this is the biggest risk to crypto

Dow Jones2021-10-31

A 'cascade, combining a big crash, liquidations,' and U.S. regulatory crackdown, says Sam Bankman-Fried

Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder and CEO of FTX, one of the world's most prominent crypto exchanges, says that one of the biggest potential risks to the bullish trend for the digital-asset market is a daisy chain of events alongside a regulatory crackdown.

"I really think...the biggest risk is a cascade, combining a big crash, liquidations," and a "rule-making" environment "that together casts a really negative shadow over the crypto ecosystem," Bankman-Fried told MarketWatch on Wednesday afternoon during an interview at MarketWatch and Barron's "Investing in Crypto" virtual event series.

The 29-year old, who is a U.S. citizen but resides in the Bahamas, is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and boasts a net worth of around $26 billion, according to Forbes

FTX's own valuation recently topped $25 billion in its most recent funding round. The exchange platform is a cryptocurrency unicorn that offers derivative trading services with offices in the U.S. and the Bahamas, and is the sixth-largest global crypto exchange, according to CoinMarketCap.com.

Bankman-Fried's comments come as the world's No. 1 cryptocurrency, bitcoin , was trading more than 5% lower Wednesday, at $58,000, and Ether on the Ethereum blockchain was down over 6%, at about $3,970 on CoinDesk.

Meanwhile, meme coin Shiba Inu, a virtual asset that pays homage to Dogecoin , was up 64% on Wednesday.

    Investing in cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin is just simply a source of diversification.  Even if the authorities impose new regulations, it is still a viable alternative to stocks and real estate. 👍😊

    We need more Crypto ETFs to carry out mainstream and create more pressure on the government to go gentle on crypto regulations without crashing it. [Smile]
