What happens if binance goes down like FTX?

in LeoFinance2 years ago

We all know about the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange, but what would happen if the largest exchange on the planet went bankrupt?

As is already known, the largest and most reliable exchange is Binance. Since, only in cryptocurrencies they have a total of approximately $70 billion dollars, according to data shown in Nansen Portfolio.

Which is approximately 10% of the total marketcap. Currently, according to data from Coinmarketcap, the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is $834,794,204,560.

In addition, it should be noted that BNB is the fourth most used cryptocurrency, it has approximately $45 billion dollars.

Should the same thing happen to Binance as it did to FTX, the world of cryptocurrencies could be in danger of disappearing. Since, many investors trust CZ, CEO of Binance and deposit their cryptos in the exchange.

We must keep in mind that CZ CEO of binance is one of the most influential people in the cryptocurrency industry.

Not to mention, that currently CZ seeks to reduce the negative effects caused by what happened with FTX, creating a recovery fund, to help projects that are solid, but are in liquidity crisis

Now, based on all this, in my opinion, if Binance disappeared, what little trust there is in the crypto industry would be lost. Since, with all the scam projects and without solid foundations, the industry is currently hanging by a thread.

I can imagine. It's sure going to be tough especially for us I'm western Africa; Nigeria precisely. Because I've noticed it's the major exchange alot of crypto traders here use

Binance is not going to go down because it's been around a lot longer than FTX without any trouble. FTX was some kind of government conspiracy to take down loads of crypto users. Binance is a real business that cares about its customers and has a cool dude CZ running the show.

If Binance disappeared, to answer your question, the show would go on, in the grand scheme of Bitcoin, Binance would just be a speck on the LLama's back.
