Now FTX can't withdraw the crypto coin.....
ahaha that makes sense. But FTX is almost down
Well but this transaction brought a drop in almost all coins the btc is down almost $2000 in losses compared to yesterday.
Yes, I saw in the article of cointelegraph that crypto is down because of investor fears over FTX's solvency. Its crypto price crash. Ouch
End of a great rivalry. Unfortunately crypto is 1 step ahead to more centralization
exactly about centralization. and Looks like binance will buy almost of the crypto exchanges. joke ahaha xD
