Finexia Crypto Collective Newsletter - December
Since our last performance update, the crypto space has been shaken to its foundations by the collapse of what once was one of the largest crypto exchanges, FTX. Over a period of 11 days in November, the company went from business as usual on 1 November, 2022 to filing bankruptcy on the 11th. After a CoinDesk report was released expressing leverage and solvency concerns, the exchange faced an overnight liquidity crisis that resulted in negotiations with Binance, the worlds largest crypto exchange, to acquire FTX. This acquisition eventually fell through. All large cap cryptocurrencies are now dealing with the aftermath of FTX and whilst this is reflected in this months decline in the Collective, the basket still managed to maintain its outperformance of Bitcoin.
The contagion from FTX’s collapse has been felt throughout the wider economy, impacting not only crypto-related businesses but also traditional pension funds, hedge funds and investment banks globally. FTX’s collapse is currently unfolding. There is speculation that the collapse of the firm was the result of the mismanagement of client funds and negligence from the companies founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, aka SBF, and the numerous related party transactions between FTX and its sister firm Alameda Research.
