Senate Banking chair warns crypto could 'crash our financial system' following FTX collapse
Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is sounding the alarm on crypto following FTX's collapse. “This year we’ve seen cryptocurrency values collapse by $2 trillion. 2,000 billion dollars,” Brown said at the opening of a hearing with top U.S. banking regulators.
