What actually happened to the Crypto world this week?

One of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, FTX, came very close to collapse yesterday, before being sent a support line from Binance for a merger. 

The two said that this was all to do with a liquidity crunch in the sector. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor looks at the effect of this on all-sessions stock, Coinbase which saw its platform down as people wanted access to their accounts. Tie this in as well to gold, which climbed yesterday as its status climbed above cryptos as a market safe haven.

Yes, FTX has never been so close to losing everything. I think Binance has invested a lot in reviving it

Binance has already thought about buying the entire FTX. I can't understand why they doubt the profitability of such a purchase. After all, if FTX becomes part of their small network, they'll be able to think about the Binance metaverse. If I were an exchange owner, I'd most likely talk to experts about promising investments. Although FTX is still where I used to trade, I can consider it part of something new. At the moment, I like what I'm doing. I don't know what the secret of my luck is. I guess I'm always well-informed, thanks to signals and a telegram bot. I know cryptography news before my friends.
