Speaking at a conference in Indonesia, CZ compared the ongoing drama on the crypto market to the global financial crisis back in 2008, saying those events are “probably an accurate analogy” to what’s happening right now.
“With FTX going down, we will see cascading effects. Especially for those close to the FTX ecosystem, they will be negatively affected,” he said.
