FTX Discloses Significant Asset Shortfall in Company's PresentatAfter extensive efforts, the leader of FTX and FTX US has reported the discovery of billions of dollars in debt on both exchanges.
FTX US, a leading digital asset platform, has announced a total of $374 million in assets, with the majority of the sum held in associated accounts. This marks a significant increase in the platform's financial stability since its establishment. Additionally, FTX has reported positive results for its less liquid "Category B Assets", including its own FTX Token (FTT).
However, FTX wallets have a net borrowing of $9.3 billion from its sister trading firm, Alameda Research, with FTX US owing Alameda $107 million. This suggests an increasing financial connection between the two firms and may have important implications for the cryptocurrency industry.
Meanwhile, FTX Japan users have welcomed the news of the platform's ability to withdraw funds as an "escape" from the platform.
In terms of corporate leadership, John J. Ray III, the chief restructuring officer and CEO of FTX, has emphasized the company's commitment to transparency and public disclosure.
It has taken a huge effort to get this far. The exchanges' assets were highly commingled, and their books and records are incomplete and , in many Cases, totally absent.
In contrast, Nishad Singh, a former engineering director at FTX, has pleaded guilty to multiple counts of fraud in a US district court and now faces potential prison time and fines.
Finally, the US Justice Department is facing increased pressure as billionaire trader Sam Singh has filed a plea to halt the investigation into the cryptocurrency industry led by rival billionaire Mike Bankman-Fried, following news of several close associates agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors.

🔥THE WORST YEAR FOR CRYPTO: 2022 OVERVIEW AND 2023 FORECAST✅🔥Hi friends! Bitcoin fall from $41 500 to $15 500 by 42% this year. 2022 was an amazing year, especially if you are trading using downtrend strategies. But who will be the winner in 2023? Long or short traders? Read more in this idea!
📊
WHAT WERE THE MAIN REASON FOR BTC DUMP IN 2022?
1.
LUNA, UST, and Do Kwon are the first such major crash this year. The algorithmic stablecoin UST lost its peg to $ and pulled down the LUNA token, which it was backed by.
Terra LUNA had one of the largest amounts of Bitcoin. In total, they had about 81,000 BTC in their wallets, but this did not save them from the fall. LUNA was top-10 altcoin by capitalization but fall from $110 to $0.01.
BTC fell from $31 000 to $17 900 by 44%.
2. FTX, FTT and Sam Bankman-Fried. At that moment, it seems like BTC begin to recover and already reached $21 500 after the 4 month consolidation (accumulation) from June to November. CZ tweeted about FTT sell off just only opened eyes to the problem of the #2 exchange.
🚩 Bitcoin fell to $15 500 but actually, it`s not a huge dump, as was all the year before. This fact indicates that there are almost no sellers in the markets and recovery is highly possible.
📊 THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE BITCOIN HISTORY
The Q1 2022 started with a small fall, but after this, the series of negative events in the cryptocurrency market pushed the price of bitcoin lower and lower. Now we should say that this is the worst year ever.
✅ All 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) will close at loss FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BTC HISTORY.
📊 THE PREDICTIONS FOR BTC IN 2023
I name this year THE YEAR OF RECOVERY for the crypto market. BTC will reach $32k as a pullback to this year’s dump with a 95% probability. I think that the #1 crypto has a 70% probability test of $45k.
✅ But first, the price can update the lows and reach $10-12k. So if you are a trader , it will be a really good year because of its volatility.
If you are a long-term trader or investor , I would be in the market by 20-40% to not miss the possible growth. Another part of the deposit leaves for buying lower at $10-12k or after making new HH and HL at $21-22k.
It will be interesting to check the results in a year.
Friends, what is your target for BTC in 2023? Write your target at the comments. Please, don`t write $200-300k :)

Always do your analysis before making a trade.
Cycles Exchange giants FTT (FTX, Alameda Research)+BNB (Binance)Comparative analysis. The main trend of the two exchange coins BNB and Alameda Research, and yes the exchange FTX. The time interval is one month. Logarithm.

Here's what it looks like on a line chart of the price.
Is Sam Bankman-Fried a young potential "grandpa" Warren Buffett or a fintech criminal with a life sentence?
Could Alameda replicate the success of Binance, led by future PR wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried, i.e. a young Warren Buffett? A joke? Ta, no... That's his role after his grandfather died. Or is it? Think about it...
Do you think the pseudo-asset market, the various cryptocurrency scams, can be compared to the tokenized stock market ? Can you smell XRP?)
Right now, in 2022, Binance is a mastodon in terms of cryptocurrency trading. Just like Poloniex in 2017).
Think about who is behind companies like Alameda Research ? Why are they allowed to do what others are not? Why can some liquidate, ostensibly for their own benefit, entire projects with billions of dollars in capitalization and a community of millions of people with impunity, while others can't even breathe a breath?
Who has the right to pardon or punish? Who can claim such a huge piece of the fat pie as the tokenization of stocks or the materialization of money from nothing (stabelcoins) but the state?
Exchanges. Hype and liquidity. Changing market leaders.
Therefore, for conservative traders and investors, it is more rational to pay attention to the non-random mastodons of the crypto market. But, keep in mind that they tend to gain or lose fat over time. I didn't write about Poloniex as an example for nothing. It's an example of hype and decline from previous times of popularity. In 2017 there was such an influx of traffic to the exchange that it was impossible to trade. Five years later, things have changed. Liquidity flowed to the new mastodon of hype, Binance.
Market cycles of cryptocurrency market spikes/declines .
In the price chart, I have shown the time cycles of the cryptocurrency market. This is probably the most important thing everyone wants to know. Most market participants want to scroll through money and increase the amount available "here and now in the moment" - emptying their pockets. Typically, the market of such "burps up" before the next peak in the cycle. Don't be that kind of person.
Very few people draw conclusions from their previous mistakes. They admit their mistakes and look for ways to solve them, rather than cite randomness. There is no randomness in non-accidental actions.
Notice how the "crypto hamster traffic" has decreased in the market nowadays. I may be writing crudely, but it's understandable. Local reversals occur at times like this.
