Both the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrencies have been very stable, ranging between gains and losses.

On March 2, 2023, the debtors of FTX issued their second stakeholder presentation. The presentation includes a preliminary examination of the shortcomings of the shuttered cryptocurrency exchange, which reveals a sizable deficiency. According to the research, the company’s assets totaled over $2.2 billion, but just $694 million of those are classified as “Category A Assets,” which comprise liquid cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, tether, or Ethereum.
Moreover, John J. Ray III, the current CEO of FTX, said that the debtor made significant efforts and that the exchange’s assets were “extremely commingled.” Debtors of FTX and its CEO John J. Ray III have published a presentation outlining the deficiencies of the bitcoin exchange. The study draws attention to a cyberattack that happened after FTX declared bankruptcy.
The holdings of FTX are divided into two categories in the report: “Category A Assets” and “Category B Assets.” There is a $8.9 billion gap in client funds, according to the public presentation. Just a limited quantity of cash, stablecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other Category A Assets are still present in wallets that are tentatively linked to FTX.com, according to the study. Alameda Research is mostly to blame for the deficit.

Investors and traders lost faith in the stability and security of the cryptocurrency business as a result of this news, which negatively impacted market sentiment.
