Over the past few days, the speculation surrounding FTX led to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) telling the public that his company plans to acquire FTX. Several reports followed the acquisition announcement, as one account said FTX was actively “pursuing deep pockets in Silicon Valley and Wall St” on Tuesday morning.

Another report noted that FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried reportedly told employees that withdrawals on the FTX.com exchange were “effectively paused.” All of this led to significant swings in the crypto market throughout the day on Tuesday, and both Kraken and Coinbase reported connection problems and “delays” during the day.
