Hedge Funds Question Crypto’s Future

In the aftermath of the FTX collapse - one of the most significant crypto exchanges in the industry, investors and hedge funds are seriously questioning the future of crypto.

FTX was once among the top centralized exchanges, a haven for professional and amateur investors. But now, billions of investors’ dollars have disappeared and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, has been arrested and denied bond, facing conspiracy and fraud charges.

Binance is the largest exchange by volume and a former rival of FTX. It suffered a wave of withdrawals recently, after releasing its ‘proof-of-reserve’ report, leaving many investors and crypto proponents wondering: should they trust any crypto exchange at all? And if so, what should it do differently?

Bloomberg reporter Justina Lee joins senior editor Anna Irrera to discuss this.
