SBF អះអាងថា ការផ្លាស់ប្តូរគ្រីបតូតូចជាងនឹងបរាជ័យក្នុងពេលឆាប់ៗនេះ

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried told ទស្សនាវដ្តី Forbes that some third-tier crypto exchanges are already insolvent and will fail soon.

Bankman-Fried declined to specify these exchanges and said:

“There are companies that are basically too far gone and it’s not practical to backstop them for reasons like a substantial hole in the balance sheet, regulatory issues, or that there is not much of a business left to be saved,”

Prominent crypto executives យល់ស្រប that there are too many coins and blockchains right now and that the bear market will eliminate the ones that don’t offer real value.

Bankman-Fried is the first crypto executive to point out that there are too many exchange platforms and that the market will get rid of most just as it shakes off most coins and blockchains.

In addition to exchange giants like Bankman-Fried’s FTX, there are more than 600 operational crypto exchanges.

Forbes’ global crypto exchange rankings របាយ​ការណ៍ examines the top 60 exchanges based on various criteria. The above chart shows the top 10 crypto exchanges as of March 16, 2022.

Bankman-Fried argued that many smaller exchanges are already failing at their finances and will have to announce bankruptcy soon. Most of these exchanges promised high yields to their customers, which was easy to keep up with during the bull market. However, these promises look like a ticket to bankruptcy now, as investors ដក balances amid the downturn.

Earlier in June, an Australian exchange platform had to freeze operations permanently due to market conditions. Meanwhile, many crypto exchanges — including the top 10 — are ជ្រើសរើសកាត់បន្ថយទំហំ and laying off up to 25% of their staff.

Exchanges leaning on M&A

Bankman-Fried’s FTX and Binance seem to be the only ones doing okay in thSBFe current market conditions. They either already acquired other firms or discussed planning to increase their Mergers & Acquisitions.

FTX

FTX is already going big on M&A, as it acquires Robinhood និង Voyager ឌីជីថល, which chose to downsize, and a share of ប្លុកហ្វាយហ្វាយ.

FTX U.S. president Brett Harrison recently បានប្រាប់ ស្ថានីយទូរទស្សន៍ CNBC:

"យើងកំពុងធ្វើវានៅទូទាំងពិភពលោក នៅកន្លែងដូចជានៅប្រទេសជប៉ុន អូស្ត្រាលី នៅទីក្រុងឌូបៃ កន្លែងផ្សេងៗគ្នាដែលយើងអាចធ្វើជាដៃគូជាមួយក្រុមហ៊ុនក្នុងស្រុក ឬជួនកាលធ្វើការទិញយកដើម្បីអាចទទួលបានអាជ្ញាប័ណ្ណដែលយើងត្រូវការ"

Binance

Binance also speaks of leaning more towards M&A. Binance’s CEO ឆាងផេងហ្សូ។ ថ្មីៗនេះបាននិយាយថា:

“យើងមានទ្រូងសង្រ្គាមដែលមានសុខភាពល្អណាស់ តាមពិតយើងកំពុងពង្រីកការជួលនៅពេលនេះ។ ប្រសិនបើយើងនៅក្នុងរដូវរងា crypto យើងនឹងប្រើវា យើងនឹងប្រើវាដល់អតិបរមា។ […] យើង​កំពុង​ឈាន​ទៅ​រក​ឧបករណ៍​ខ្ពស់​ក្នុង​លក្ខខណ្ឌ​នៃ​សកម្មភាព M&A»។

Ripple

On the other hand, Ripple didn’t choose to downsize and said it was only thinking of M&A. However, the exchange didn’t alter its recruitment plan and continues to hire new staff.

នាយកប្រតិបត្តិ Ripple លោក Brad Garlinghouse said that he expected the crypto space to move towards an M&A-based sector.
