Crypto space is currently less efficient than the established markets, says Sam Bankman-Fried
The cryptocurrency market is new compared to other established financial markets like the stock and forex. For this reason, Sam Bankman-Fried thinks it is less efficient, and more work needs to be done for the crypto space to be up to speed with the other markets.
The crypto market is still disorganized
Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was hosted by Bloomberg earlier today. During the interview, Bankman-Fried discussed several issues related to the markets, finance, and economics.The CEO, who is also the second-richest man in the crypto space, pointed out that the cryptocurrency market is less efficient compared to other established financial markets. "The crypto market has come a long way in recent years. But, it's still far less efficient than your typical established market," Bankman-Fried said.
According to Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency market differs from country to country and from one region to another. The cryptocurrencies trade at different prices in various countries, especially in South Korea, where the premium feature has been adopted. The regulatory environment in each country also differs. These factors contribute to the cryptocurrency market being less efficient than the stock, forex, and commodity markets.
Bankman-Fried is a former international ETF trader at the prop shop Jane Street Capital. Having ventured into the cryptocurrency space, Bankman-Fried is building a cryptocurrency empire after founding crypto exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research.
The crypto market slowly gaining adoption
Despite the cryptocurrency market being less efficient than the other financial markets, it is slowly gaining retail and institutional adoption. The market is just over a decade old and has room for massive growth.The market is expected to grow and compete with the more established ones over the coming years as more financial institutions and corporate entities enter the cryptocurrency space.

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 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
