According to Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin, the collapse of FTX collects lessons for all crypto investors and businesses. Buterin emphasized the blockchain which is the so-called crypto technology behind cryptocurrency. He also admitted the huge impact of the bankruptcy of the Crypto trading company FTX.
From the days of bankruptcy of the crypto exchange company FTX, many of the other entities have taken a hit by the fallout from Blockfi to Crypto.com to Gemini.
Buterin said blockchain base layers and decentralized finance protocols worked flawlessly, despite the chaos in the crypto market.
After the fall of ftx, the crypto market has also been going down. Ether Cryptocurrency has gone down by 55%.
“What happened at FTX was of course a huge tragedy,” Buterin told Bloomberg. “That said, many in the Ethereum community also see the situation as a validation of things they believed in all along centralized anything is by default suspect,” he said. These beliefs also included putting one’s trust in “open and transparent code above individual humans,” he added.
Buterin has in recent days weighed in on how crypto exchanges could help shore up confidence in their businesses. The fall of FTX has resulted in an industry-wide self-reckoning over transparency and risk.
Commenting on the earlier collapse of Do Kwon’s TerraUSD algorithmic stablecoin and associated Luna token, Buterin said “crashes like that are on the one hand necessary for the ecosystem.” On the other hand, he added, “I wish that it happened when Terra/Luna was like 10 times smaller.”
