Apariții multiple SBF, discurs al președintelui Fed și respingere pe piață: recapitularea criptografică a săptămânii

The past seven days were filled with a lot of information as the situation around FTX keeps unraveling. The former CEO of the exchange – Sam Bankman-Fried, had multiple appearances, but they may have spurred more questions than they answered.

Before we get there, though, it’s important to note that the market managed to add around $20 billion to its capitalization, which is a step in the positive direction. Bitcoin managed to gain 2%, while ETH is up a total of 6% in the past week.

This week’s best performer, for better or worse, is Dogecoin. DOGE skyrocketed a whopping 21% in a market that’s struggling to recover. MATIC also performed very well, up 7% in the past seven days.

As mentioned above, the week’s highlights were the multiple appearances of SBF in a few interviews and podcasts. However, much of what he said was just an attempt to skew and deflect harder questions without providing a lot of concise information on how the whole thing came crashing down.

For example, he was quoted saying that the reason he prioritized Bahamian withdrawals in the wake of the fallout was that he’s physically located there and “you don’t want to be in a country with a lot of angry people in it.”

Elsewhere, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, had a speech this week. He hinted that there will be ongoing increases in interest rates and that the “ultimate level of rates will need to be somewhat higher than thought at the time of the September meeting.”

News also came from the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission. Its chairman, Rostin Benham, said that the only cryptocurrency that can be considered a commodity is Bitcoin. This is a considerable change in his view because earlier, he had said that Ether also falls within this category. The implications of this remain to be seen.

All in all, it was a very exciting week, and there’s a lot going on in the industry right now. This surely means that the next seven days will be just as action-packed.
