Newly released polling shows the failure and scandal around FTX has not deterred most crypto investors.
Finish the story after this video:
Rasmussen Reports released the poll which found that only 32% are less interested in crypto because of the fallout.
“The bankruptcy of the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange hasn’t discouraged most of those already invested in digital payment forms like Bitcoin,” Rasmussen said.
In fact, 21% are now more interested.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 32% of American Adults say the bankruptcy of FTX has made them less interested in owning cryptocurrency. Twenty-one percent (21%) are now more interested in owning cryptocurrency, while 40% say the FTX bankruptcy hasn’t made much difference in their interest in cryptocurrency.”
FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has lost his fortune and his company but says he did not commit fraud. The companies’ demise is under major scrutiny for potential mismanagement and wrongdoing.
Even Congress is looking into the matter.
BREAKING: Today a Senate hearing will discuss the FTX collapse.
But numerous politicians who might be discussing FTX have indirectly received donations from SBF or FTX in ways of PACs.
The amounts range from $15,000 to up to $350,000.
This is truly unprecedented.
