Janet Yellen: FTX Krah showed the “weaknesses” of the crypto industry

The FTX incident showed that the cryptocurrency industry needs “very careful regulation”. This opinion was expressed by US Finance Minister Janet Yellen, writes Bloomberg.

“This shows weaknesses of the entire sector,” she emphasized.

The head of the Ministry of Finance added that the consequences of the collapse of the empire of Sam Bankman-Frida could be worse if the cryptocurrency market was more closely intertwined with the traditional financial system.

“At least he is not so deeply integrated with our banking sector and is currently not more serious threats to financial stability,” Yellen said.

He called for the investigation of the FTX crisis and recalled the participation of structures related to Bankman-Fried in the support of politicians.
