The collapse of FTX, one of the few banks willing to act as an intermediary in the space of institutional crypto, has led to the bank losing a large number of customers who have now been left stranded. With no other options available, many are turning to cryptocurrency exchanges as their only resort. While this may provide some short-term relief, it is clear that the institutional crypto market is currently in a very uncertain and unstable position.
FTX’s downfall was a result of the CEO’s lavish spending, as well as the liquidity crisis that hit the industry in November. While FTX was able to sell off some of its operations and branches, it is still struggling due to its debts.
As Silvergate shuts down, most crypto-to-fiat transactions will have to take place elsewhere. This could impact the volatility of the market and may make it more difficult for people to invest in cryptocurrencies. While some exchanges may step up and fill the gap, others may not be able to handle the volume.
