Traditional finance history and crypto industry commentary suggest that crypto will be more prone to macroeconomic factors in 2023even as the credit contagion risks of shadow banks in FTX’s latest creditor list wanes.
According to a recent court record, ftx owes money to lenders and Genesis Global Capital, which have acted as ghost banks for the cryptography industry over the past few years.
FTX Creditor Matrix uncovers mysterious amounts owed to regulators.
The FTX would owe Switzerland's FINMA regulator, the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and its former rival. According to Reuters, finma could not explain why she was included in the list because she did not have a relationship with ftx. The creditor matrix has not disclosed the sums due.
creditor list also includes Genesis Global Capital, a crypto lender that loaned money to companies during previous bull markets. Recent genesis for bankruptcy after creditors have failed to repay the debt, spiked by falling crypto prices last year.
For the chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 11, 2022, after an escape from the balance sheet of its alameda market study revealed significant holdings of the non-cilliquid token. This revelation caused changpeng zhao president BINANCE to order the liquidation of the ftt binance, leading to the decline of the token and an executing ftx bank.
Earlier this month, FTX Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey agreed to seal the names of nearly 10 million FTX clients who have had their IPO funds frozen.
Last year the FTX revealed it owes approximately $3.1 billion to its 50 largest creditors. Its new CEO, John J. III, publicized considerations to restart the exchange to reimburse creditors sooner than bankruptcy proceedings.
Could the genesis ruin the demise of the occult banks?
Quasi-banks as borrowed genesis and loaned without conventional bank licenses, often relying on cryptography or other illiquid assets as collateral. These "ghost banks" have lent money to hedge funds such as alameda research and three capital arrows, often accepting cryptocurrencies as a guarantee. Crypto Celsius lender would have used this security for additional borrowing while only requiring a loan-to-value ratio of 50%.
However, because cryptocurrency lenders lacked adequate capital reserves, they quickly found themselves under water as debtors suffered from the decline in cryptography in 2022. The value of the guarantees has also decreased, leading to less significant net-outs.
Genesis had a $1.2 billion hole in its balance sheet after selling off a three-tier loan. The FTX went bankrupt after guaranteeing many loans to Alameda Research that went down.
VC Says Macroeconomics To impact Crypto in 2023.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, the United States government adopted additional regulations to protect the economy from the risky loans of ghost banks.
Speaking on a recent Bankless podcast, venture capitalist Vance Spencer pointed out that the bankruptcy filings that culminated in the collapse of Genesis Global Capital roughly a week ago mean most of the market’s credit contagion perpetuated by shadow banks has now been flushed out of the crypto industry.
Unless there is another Black Swan event, Vance believes that crypto prices will be determined by macro-economic conditions in effect in 2023.
