What is this, four organizations suspending withdrawals after FTX's demise? Five? I'm not the most plugged-in to the cryptocurrency community; anyone know what proportion of cryptocurrency business this makes up?

There are something like two or three, at least single digits, genuinely legitimate large exchanges out there, they've been around for ~ ten years at this point, and even those I wouldn't trust enough to keep a balance at for more than a day or two.

All of the pure shitcoin exchanges, centralised "loan" providers, etc etc are probably going under. Most people I know have had this priced in since forever, they come and go all of the time.

Holy holy hell, I literally _just_ got my captital out this morning. That. was. close.

Same. Requested redemption from Gemini Friday morning (11/11), and notified it completed at 5am today (11/16), got the email about Genesis two and half hours later.

(Gemini uses Genesis for their lending program, Earn.)

Still remember when I pulled out my money out of Bittrex 2 hours before they shut down for half a year. Had a funny feeling and still can't explain, congrats to your intuiton.

This isn’t cryptocurrency, these are sketchy unlicensed banks with a cryptocurrency theme. People holding coins in their own wallets are entirely unaffected. I hope that crypto exchanges are outlawed soon.

Well, once all these go down the prices of currencies will also come down, which affects even those who had their coins in cold wallets - unless they plan to hold without making a profit until the heat death of the universe
