文章脈絡:

第一段:
這一段正在說明隨著FTX的垮臺,幣安卻沒有垮臺反而成長了,就會讓很多人好奇幣安的執行長到底是誰?

第二段:
簡單的說明一下幣安執行長的背景,但是在中國出生長大,後來隨著家人移民到加拿大,他認為加密貨幣之於金融體系,就像網際網路之於資訊一樣,所以他才創建了一間關於加密貨幣的公司。

第三段:
幣安是沒有一個固定的總部的,他是有在香港新加坡甚至是杜拜有工作的場合,每天也有成千上萬的交易量,幾10億的金額在這個軟體上面發生,而幣安會收取0.1% 的手續費。

第四段:
幣安會成長茁壯跟他的執行長的決策有關,當FTX發出警訊的時候,幣安就宣佈他要出售手中的FTT(FTX的基礎貨幣),所以導致FTX發生了財務危機,然後幣安的執行長就提出了想要收購FTX。

第五段:
然而如果幣安要幫助這個持續下滑的加密貨幣價值或是產業,執行長自己的資產也會縮水,雖然執行長有出來表示說他們可以讓這個產業更透明,也要證明幣安在遇到問題的時候是有資金可以解決的,但是如果有一些法治進入或是更嚴重的崩盤的話我們不知道加密貨幣產業的未來會發生什麼事。

實用佳句:

The implosion of ftx, a crypto exchange once valued at $32bn, has left plenty of people with egg on their faces.

這句話應該可以把這整件事情解釋得非常清楚, 尤其是後面的那句話 with egg on their faces ,意思就是顯得很笨XD

This week Mr Zhao promised more transparency and said Binance would provide proof that it has enough liquid assets to face any crisis. Yet as the crypto crash worsens, prompting a regulatory backlash, the digital Teflon Man may not prove resistant to corrosion forever.

後面這句話這是可以把幣安的狀況和現在加密貨幣圈所面臨的危機表達清楚。
