What FTX Fallout Means For Bitcoin

The fallout of failing cryptocurrency exchange FTX could result in Bitcoin plummeting to as low as $13,000.

Key Details

  • Investors in cryptocurrency are still scrambling to recover from the largest global exchange, Binance, backing out of plans to acquire cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
  • After due-diligence research uncovered concerns about FTX’s handling of customer finances, concerns are on the rise that FTX could face bankruptcy.
  • Strategists are estimating Bitcoins potential fall by its overall production costs—the electricity needed to operate the computers that control the Bitcoin network.

Why it’s news

Judging by operating costs, some experts are predicting that Bitcoin can only fall to $13,000, though there are some arguments that the floor could be lower than that.  

Bitcoin ended four days of declines, including a fall of more than 15% Wednesday, to reach $17,300 midday Thursday.

Currently, FTX is still looking at potential bankruptcy. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has told investors that the company is in need of a cash injection in order to avoid bankruptcy, Bloomberg reports.

This is the latest hit to the crypto market, following troubles in May when crypto currencies TerraUSD and Luna crashed.

Notable quotes

“What makes this new phase of crypto deleveraging induced by the apparent collapse of Alameda Research and FTX more problematic is that the number of entities with stronger balance sheets able to rescue those with low capital and high leverage is shrinking,” said J.P. Morgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.

Anheuser-Busch’s corporate apology and leadership shakeup reflects a brand backtracking on a mistake—but it needs a bold new direction to move forward. 

Key Details

  • Bud Light VP Alissa Heinerscheid took extended leave late last week following an April 14 backtracking due to a public backlash against its new company spokesman—transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. 
  • Anheuser-Busch executives have informed its distributors that the company is going to invest more heavily in marketing for upcoming sports events like the NFL draft to make up for declining sales, The New York Post reports.  
  • The company is making significant changes to its senior marking team, streamlining its brands, and bringing in two Washington, D.C.-based conservative consultants to assist the direction of the brand, Fox Business reports. 
  • Marketing experts differ on a new direction for the brand—trying to reclaim the previous customers and eschew the need for a spokesman or go in an entirely new direction with a bold new spokesman.
