Kraken CEO on FTX collapse: 'The damage here is huge’
The crypto industry needs to raise its standards in the wake of the implosion of Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency exchange FTX. That’s according to fellow exchange Kraken's CEO and co-founder Jesse Powell, who hit out at “clowns” in the industry who sell out their customers.
Kraken is one of several companies with exposure to FTX. It holds about 9,000 FTT, the native token of FTX. Amber Group, Crypto.com, Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, Selling Capital, Sequoia Capital and Wintermute have also released statements detailing their exposure to the company. FTX ran into trouble at the start of this month following reports that Sam Bankman-Fried’s trading firm held significant amounts of FTT.
