In this video, I discuss whether BlockFi is about to implode and freeze withdrawals. There is a lot of speculation that BlockFi is in trouble, having possibly lent crypto to 3 Arrows Capital, which is in the process of being liquidated.
BlockFi has put out statements saying that everything is fine, but their actions speak louder than words: laying off 20% of staff and doing a down round both suggest a cash crunch.
In a crypto bear market, it becomes increasingly important not to leave your Bitcoin at any lending service or on any exchange. "Not your keys, not your coins." If a crypto company files for bankruptcy, your Bitcoin may be considered part of the company's general assets, which would mean that secured creditors will get paid back before you do.
