I think the shoes have dropped: Sam Bankman-Fried

Samuel Bankman-Fried, crypto billionaire and CEO of FTX is certain that all the shoes have dropped and the cryptocurrency market has hit bottom. Investors are now scraping the bottom of the barrel as Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins recoup their losses and begin their recoveries.

The FTX CEO is most excited about developments in web3 and payment platforms and consumer market structures. Sam Bankman-Fried was quoted as saying, “I think the shoes have dropped.” The CEO referred to the current crypto market scenario where he believes the bottom is in. Since July 18, analysts have noted a recovery in Bitcoin and Ethereum and the overall crypto market capitalization. The Total Value Locked in Ethereum, Cardano, Avalanche and the DeFi ecosystem has climbed. In conversation with Raoul Pal, the CEO and co-founder of Real Vision, the FTX CEO said,

I think the shoes have dropped and we’re in a, ‘well, let’s see what happens with the world’ type situation. But I don’t feel totally confident in that, and obviously not financial advice.

Raoul Pal and Bankman-Fried are certain that a $2.9 trillion drop in crypto market capitalization is an indicator of the bottom, and this scenario is not unique to the sector. The expectation of interest rate hikes has triggered a domino effect across stocks and cryptocurrency markets; now that the event is priced in, assets in the top 30 have started their recovery.

Bankman-Fried told Pal that the first casualty of the crypto bloodbath was the Terra LUNA-UST collapse. The FTX CEO noted that higher-than-expected effective leverage by investors is one of the leading causes of the downturn in the crypto ecosystem.
