You may have heard about the recent crashes of the FTX token and Alameda’s crypto exchange, as well as the SEC announcement that they are planning to crack down on ICOs. All these events have had a significant impact on cryptocurrency prices and will continue to do so in 2022.
There is no doubt that the recent crypto price crash has been a brutal one, but there are also signs of hope. The fact that prices have already begun to rebound after hitting their lowest level in months shows that traders are optimistic about the future of digital assets. As we move into 2022, it will be interesting to see how these events influence their values moving forward—and whether they’ll affect prices at all.
FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange that offers spot trading and futures trading. It’s based in the United States and was launched in 2019. FTX offers a lot of altcoins, which is great for traders who want to diversify their portfolios.
FTX Debacle Can Have A Huge Impact
You can trade on FTX using fiat currencies (dollar, euro) or with cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum). You can also trade with Bitcoin by depositing it onto your account balance so you don’t have to buy them first before trading them on the platform.
FTX offers futures contracts on BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC and XRP. These are the most popular cryptocurrencies and there is a lot of interest in what their value will be in future.
Futures are a way to bet on the future value of an asset. They are standardized contracts which can be bought or sold through exchanges like FTX. The contract trades like any other security (stocks or bonds), but it doesn’t require ownership of the underlying asset itself: all you need is enough cash to buy the contract at its current price from someone who already owns it.
When you buy into a futures contract you make an agreement with your counterparty that he will sell to you at another agreed upon price sometime before or after expiration date. This allows for speculation about whether prices will go up or down over time without actually needing any money upfront—you only ever have to pay if your prediction comes true! It’s important to note though that while they may provide some protection against volatility during times when markets become unstable due to geopolitical events like Brexit or elections here in US where we saw huge jumps/drops occurring within hours after results came out thanks partly due to algorithmic trading bots who react quickly when markets move unexpectedly fast.”
