Binance has confirmed it would liquidate its entire FTT holdings, according to its own CEO, CZ. While CZ did not want to say how much FTT Binance still has in its balance sheet, he said Binance held approximately $2.1 billion worth of FTT and its BUSD dollar-denominated stablecoin. Binance wants to liquidate its entire FTT holdings due to a recent leak which showed that FTX CEO’s crypto hedge fund Alameda Research has over $5.8 billion worth of FTT out of its total assets of $14.6 billion. CZ believes it’s risky to hold FTT due to this recent revelation.
