Honestly, I think this is a really dumb move by Binance. They have taken a look under the hood, determined that FTX is bankrupt and then told everyone that is the case. Now there's going to be a widespread crypto panic that is going to cause other exchanges to collapse, and ultimately I expect Binance too will go down.


Don't shoot the messenger: the actual problem is that FTX is insolvent, and that would have come to light sooner or later anyway.


Binance loans customer funds too… maybe not to themselves but it could still come crumbling down


Binance only loans customer funds if you opt in to a yield product (I hope, who knows)


Dumb? It would be shockingly out-of-character if Binance isn’t utilizing strategies to make fat, fat stacks here.


Binance is in a good position since they now know who to short.
