<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/sam-bankman-fried-outlines-how-ftx-might-pursue-celsius-bid">Sam Bankman-Fried</a>, the founder and CEO of FTX, came under fire for legislative ideas he put up in a blog post that suggested limitations on <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/project-mariana-by-bis-to-investigate-cbdc-connection-with-defi">Decentralized Finance (DeFi)</a>. He has since pledged to change his regulatory stance.
<h2>FTX Acquires Binance Ownership</h2>
Binance received the money in FTT in conjunction with its release from an initial equity stake in FTX that it had held since 2019. The exit took place last year. According to a statement from Zhao, FTX has purchased Binance's ownership of the business using a $2.1 billion combination of FTT and <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/binance-completes-integration-of-wax-waxp-and-busd">BUSD</a>, the stablecoin exclusive to Binance's exchange.

According to CZ, the market circumstances and the lack of liquidity will cause the disposal to take several months to conclude. Additionally, he stated, it would be executed in a manner that aims to lessen the effect on FTT's market.

If Zhao wanted to reduce the market effect of the decision as well, Caroline Ellison, the CEO of Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency trading company Alameda Research, <a href="https://twitter.com/carolinecapital/status/1589287457975304193?" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">proposed</a> to purchase Binance's outstanding FTT for a fixed price of $22.
