After Binance, FTX reach deal to address ‘liquidity constraints’, Bitcoin jumps $1,300. Details here

By Smith

According to Coin Metrics, Bitcoin was recently down roughly 1% at $20,513.00. It had fallen as low as $19,244 earlier in the day. Meanwhile, Ether was last trading 2% lower at $1,560.20.

The two largest cryptocurrencies by market value rose after reaching session lows, just before Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of crypto exchange FTX, said on Twitter that the business had agreed to a sale to Binance for an unknown price. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao verified the news on Twitter minutes afterwards. Bankman-Fried, better known as SBF, stated in his tweets that the company’s US operations, Binance US and FTX US, are distinct and unaffected by the news.

The crypto market fell earlier in the day, before the sale was announced, as investors’ concerns about FTX’s viability persisted after recent reports regarding the exchange and its sister business, Alameda Research.

The cryptocurrency linked to Ethereum rival Solana had a drop of 10.7%.
