CEO Warns of Risky Crypto Projects Amid Market Surge
Ava Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer cautions about the emergence of risky projects in the crypto markets during the bull run.
He highlights the absence of skepticism towards FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) in the previous market cycle, which led to mishandling of billions of dollars.
Gün Sirer warns of the potential rise of even worse forms of fraud in SBF’s absence, particularly in the realm of layer-2 solutions.
He emphasizes the need for vigilance against red flags in identifying low-quality layer-2 projects, such as discrepancies between project narratives and technology, token sales for future development, founders’ token dumping, and manipulation of token valuations.
The CEO advocates for increased scrutiny of industry figures and urges caution against potential “sociopaths” entering the space post-SBF.
