One of crypto’s central tenets is no central control.

I guess the Binance acquisition of FTX throws that one out of the window?

Cryptocurrency exchange FTX now worthless, says key investor.

“That meant that he thought the company had enough money on hand to pay out 24 times the normal daily withdrawals – but in fact, it did not have enough to even pay out all the withdrawals on Sunday alone. “We saw roughly $5bn of withdrawals on Sunday – the largest by a huge margin. But, he insisted, while the exchange was suffering a liquidity crunch, it was not insolvent, and still held more assets than the total value of all the customer deposits – albeit in a form that could not be easily converted to cash.”

Sounds like a bank to me.
