FTX Shares Earnings for 2021 to Show off its Growth and Attract More Users
When the cryptocurrency boom was recorded from the end of 2020 until the end of the third quarter of 2021, every crypto entity was recording huge gains.
Among the top gaining entities were the cryptocurrency exchanges, brokerages, and lending platforms. These entities continued generating huge revenues despite their size or popularity.
This was because the cryptocurrency industry was booming and everyone wanted to invest their money and get their hands on them.
At that time, there were no concerns about survival and being the best service provider in the crypto-verse.
Things have changed in 2022
Unfortunately, the crypto boom was not long-lived, as it started to deteriorate by the end of 2021. Things took a turn for the worse and even now, the cryptocurrency market situation is in the dark.
Now, the cryptocurrency industry is all about the “survival of the fittest”. The platforms that were once gaining the most are taking the biggest hit.
This is where the cryptocurrency exchanges come in as they are trying their best to stay in the good books of the investors and clients. This way, they can ensure the longevity of their operations.
The constant support of the investors and clients would allow them to continue operating until things get back to normal or the old times.
