GM crypto fam, hope everyone is doing great. I'm not sure if many of you have seen the news that Silvergate Capital Corporation has decided to voluntarily liquidate Silvergate Bank. As I'm fairly new to the world of crypto and this seems like a significant development in the crypto-banking industry, I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions on it. How big of an impact is this going to have on the industry as a whole? What do you think the implications of this decision are for the future of crypto-banking? sources: https://twitter.com/thetokenist/status/1633591603083325445

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Moody’s Developing Rating System for Stablecoins
|

GM crypto fam. As I was doing my usual Friday market recap, I came across this interesting story about Moody's working on developing a rating system for stablecoins. So apparently, Moody's is working on a stablecoin rating system that will grade stablecoins depending on the quality of the reserve attestations. As a stablecoin supporter, I really like this idea because it feels like this is the missing piece. But with Terra's collapse and everything that's been going around in the crypto space lately, it seems like many people have lost their confidence in stablecoins. I'd like to get your input on this, as you're probably more experienced than I am. Could this move rekindle interest in stablecoins?

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Huge Binance outflows - should we be concerned?

GM crypto fam. Since I'm pretty busy and can't keep track of everything, even though I'd like to, this is something that I don't understand very well and would like to get your opinion on. So, Binance recently halted USDC withdrawals because outflows reached $2B, which indicates to me that many investors are worried about their state, even tho they resumed withdrawals shortly after that. The world’s top crypto exchange Binance paused USDC withdrawals Tuesday due to a “token swap.” Binance saw a significant surge in withdrawals yesterday after a recent proof of reserves audit and rumors of legal issues raised concerns among investors using the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. What is all the fuss surrounding Binance? Do you believe the recent difficulties could cause another crypto market downturn? source: https://app.getresponse.com/view.html?x=a62b&m=BVKQj2&mc=9I&s=BtgXWnG&u=QcLhh&z=EGCLwcu&

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Crypto funding set to surpass 2021 record

GM/GN crypto fam. So, apparently, despite everything that has happened in 2022 and is still happening, crypto funding is set to surpass 2021 funding. I honestly don't understand how that could be the case with everything that has happened in the past 11 months. In the first 9 months of 2022, VC firms poured $19.9 billion into the crypto space, which is 44% higher than the same period in 2021. However, there is a considerable slowdown in Q3 2022, as VC funding dropped by 38.3% compared to Q2 2022. Q3's total figure is around $4 billion. Can the overall crypto space recover until 2023, or is crypto funding going to decline in 2023? Source: https://app.getresponse.com/view.html?x=a62b&m=BVlN1b&mc=9I&s=BtgXWnG&u=QcLhh&z=ECp6MIP&

All three exchanges have, as the headline indicates, delisted FTX token pairings from their cryptocurrency exchanges. The FTT/BTC, FTT/BNB, FTT/ETH, and FTT/USDT trading pairs have been deleted off Binance's platform, according to the company, since they did not pass recent checks. The FTT/BUSD pair is still accessible on the market, the exchange stated. https://twitter.com/binance/status/1592020929999159296The perpetual swap contracts related to FTT have been delisted by all exchanges except Binance and BitMEX. Its FTT/USD and FTT/USDT pairings are included in this. The exchange explained their justification for delisting as a drop in spot trading of the pairs. KuCoin has delisted their FTT/USDT perpetual contract on KuCoin Futures, similar to BitMEX.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What happens to the funds of the firm who was/is exposed to FTX?
|

GM Crypto Fam, we all know that lots of firms were impacted by the FTX's fallout, like BlockFi, Galaxy Digital, Wintermute, etc. I'll use the example that made me wonder about this in the first place. Galaxy Digital, a prolific Web3 and crypto investor headed by Michael Novogratz, had $77 million in exposure to FTX, of which $47.5 million is yet to be withdrawn. Since FTX filed for bankruptcy this Friday, what happens to Galaxy Digital's $47.5 million? What am I missing here?
