FTX Contagion Effects
On Monday, crypto exchanges Bitfront and AAX suspended services after the collapse of FTX. Citing industry challenges, Bitfront said it was shutting down operations. The recent crypto downturn began recently after FTX revealed it was facing a liquidity crisis. Following this, the cryptocurrency prices plummeted significantly, making it even more tougher for retail investors to make profits in crypto investments. Also, the shocking collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried crypto empire meant tighter regulatory vigilance on the digital assets industry across the world.
