The collapse of the giant cryptocurrency exchange FTX greatly shook confidence in the market last year. After this, the CEO of crypto exchange Binance made a critical move to save the industry. However, this ambitious plan to save the crypto market failed, according to a Bloomberg report.
Binance CEO CZ’s attempt to save the market was in vain!
‘cryptokoin.com’ As you follow from, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has stepped in with an ambitious plan to rescue the crypto market following the collapse of crypto firms following the Terra-LUNA crisis and the FTX debacle. According to a report published by Bloomberg, this plan failed. In the process, investors and companies lost billions of dollars in total. Thus, the bear market has turned worse for the crypto community. The Industry Recovery Initiative (IRI) invested only about $30 million.
Binance’s IRI invested only $30 million
Last November, crypto exchange FTX suffered a dramatic crash. Following this, cryptocurrency prices saw sharp declines. Investors frantically tried to limit their exposure to bankrupt crypto firms and exchanges. During this period, Binance launched the Industry Recovery Initiative (IRI). Binance’s IRI has big backers like Jump Crypto, Animoca Brands. Additionally, Aptos Labs, Brooker Group, DWF Labs and Polygon Ventures are also among them. These companies aim to support and finance crypto firms and projects affected by the crisis.
However, the Industry Recovery Initiative (IRI) invested only $30 million in projects. The report says wallet analysis shows inflow is significantly below expectations. It also reveals that it has caused many to speculate about the once-promising crypto market recovery effort.
Crypto continues to struggle with difficulties, no money in the fund!
Operation Choke Point 2.0 and the US SEC’s lawsuits against Binance, Coinbase and other crypto firms have increased the challenges for the crypto market. The already struggling industry has lost focus on recovery due to regulatory issues, lawsuits and worsening macro conditions. In March, Binance CEO said that due to the collapse of crypto-friendly banks and stablecoin depegs, the exchange would convert the remaining funds in the Industry Recovery Initiative into Bitcoin (BTC), BNB, and Ethereum (ETH). According to Etherscan data, Binance’s Industry Recovery Initiative wallet currently holds $1,501 worth of crypto assets.
Another restriction from FCA for Binance
Binance is not registered with the UK’s FCA, although it has created a dedicated page for its residents. This severely limits their marketing capabilities. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has restricted Binance’s local partner Rebuildingsociety.com from approving financial promotional content from ‘unauthorized’ parties.
Binance’s UK partner Rebuildingsociety.com is required to revoke all approvals previously given to unlicensed entities, according to information on the regulator’s website. The FCA directed the company to inform its customers that it cannot approve content from unauthorized individuals or organisations. It also noted that it had to withdraw all advertisements promoting its services in order to approve financial promotions.
