FTX CEO backs Tether, says some exchanges are "secretely insolvent"
FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (popularly called SBF in the world of crypto) gave an insight into the current situation of the crypto market. In an interview with Forbes, he also came out in support of Tether, the issuer of the biggest stablecoin in the crypto market.
FTX boss' generous streak
FTX had recently bailed out BlockFi and helped the firm bolster its balance sheet and regain its strength with a $250 million credit line. On the other hand, the exchange had also helped Voyager Digital, a crypto exchange, by providing a $500 million in financing to the firm last week via the founder's quantitative trading firm Almeda.While it is not sure that FTX will be able to recoup the investments and if helping the firm will pay off in the long term, SBF commented that his firm is "willing to do a bit of a bad deal here if it takes that to somehow stabilize things."
"Secretly insolvent?"
However, he hinted that many exchanges wouldn't make it out of the current bearish situation, adding that apart from the major ones, plenty of exchanges operate outside regulations and do not comply with KYC rules. The founder of FTX added that many of the firms providing services related to crypto are "secretly insolvent.""There are companies that are fundamentally too far gone, and it's not practical to bail them out for reasons like a significant hole in the balance sheet, regulatory issues, or because there's not much of a business left to salvage," said the FTX CEO.Despite the bearish view on crypto exchanges, SBF went on to support Tether, stating that the firm can be trusted. In the light of many stablecoin issuers receiving heat from the crypto community, Tether's lack of transparency has invited criticism. "I think the truly bearish views on Tether are wrong… I don't think there's any evidence to support them," Bankman-Fried added.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
