Solana Price Crashes Below $160 Amid Revelations Of FTXs Hidden SOL Stash

The Solana price has been rocked by the latest bombshell revelations surrounding the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. According to a whistleblower claiming inside knowledge of FTX’s operations, the now-bankrupt company is secretly holding a massive stash of Solana tokens – up to 8% of the entire SOL supply. Triggering Fears Of Massive Sell-Off By the numbers, if these allegations are true, this would equate to approximately 46.5 million SOL tokens worth about $7 billion at the current market price, which is $155 at the time of this writing.  Related Reading: Cardano Goes Toe-To-Toe With Ethereum As Whales Scoop Up 120 Million ADA “I’m not saying Solana will go to zero, but if this news is true and FTX starts to sell the tokens in the open market, then it could dump the price of Solana significantly,”  warned a crypto user who spread the news on social media site X, known only as Wise Advice. In the wake of the news, Solana’s price plummeted below the critical $160 support level, dropping over 9% in the past two weeks and nearly 4% in the past 24 hours as rumors of FTX’s secret SOL holdings circulated.  Solana Price Risks Freefall The revelations come on the heels of the FTX estate’s previous sell-off of discounted SOL tokens to repay creditors affected by the exchange’s collapse. Just two months ago, Bitcoinist reported that the estate offloaded a $2.6 billion trove of SOL at around $102 per token. Venture capital firms like Pantera Capital and Figure Markets scooped up large portions of this discounted SOL allocation. It is worth noting that these tokens remain subject to a multi-year vesting period, limiting their immediate impact on Solana’s market dynamics. On the other hand, the alleged hidden FTX stash, if true, could overshadow the impact of these sales and pose a formidable challenge to the Solana price in the near term.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Down But Not Out: BTC To $700,000 Highly Probable Says Analyst With the potential for over $7 billion in Solana tokens to eventually hit the market, the cryptocurrency’s price may face intense selling pressure that could undermine its bullish prospects.  Still, it is imperative to note that these are only rumors and have not been confirmed by the exchange’s bankruptcy state, and that no further information has been released on the matter, including whether the state overseeing the exchange’s repayment operations plans to sell these tokens to repay creditors, if true. Potential $140s Plunge In terms of immediate price action, crypto analyst Pratty Crypto has highlighted several technical factors that could signal further downside continuation for the cryptocurrency in the coming days.  Pratty Crypto contends that Solana is facing a “lot of confluence” that points to a potential move towards the $140 zone. This includes Solana trading at a discount to the previous quarter’s mid-range, testing a key quarterly open level, and retracing 62% of its recent price run-up. In addition, Pratty Crypto warns that the deeper Solana’s price goes into the $130-$150 order block, the less likely it is to hold, potentially leading to more substantial losses.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

FTT Surges 50% On FTX Creditors Claims Settlement And Billions In Compensation: How High Can It Rise?

In a significant development, defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX has unveiled a reorganization plan to reimburse almost all of its customers.  The announcement has sparked a substantial surge in the exchange’s native token, FTT, which recorded an uptrend of 52% over the past seven days, reaching a monthly high of $2.29 during Wednesday’s early trading session. FTX Unveils Debt Repayment Strategy FTX estimates its outstanding debts to creditors to be approximately $11.2 billion, as revealed in the reorganization plan published late Tuesday. The company has disclosed that it possesses between $14.5 billion and $16.3 billion, which it intends to distribute among the creditors. Under the proposed plan, customers with $50,000 or less claims will receive approximately 118% of the allowed claim amount. This compensation is slated to be disbursed to around 98% of the creditors, relieving FTX customers who have experienced locked funds since the exchange filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2022.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Suffers Massive Outflows Amid Crypto Market Uncertainty, Tops $284 Million FTX stated in a press release on Wednesday that the company could not utilize the appreciation of the missing tokens during the Chapter 11 cases. Instead, FTX had to identify other recoverable sources of value to repay creditors.  Following the departure of founder Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX appointed John Ray III as CEO. Ray, speaking on the matter in November 2022, expressed his astonishment at the “complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information” witnessed at FTX. Ray further stated in the press release on Wednesday:  We are pleased to be in a position to propose a Chapter 11 plan that contemplates the return of 100% of bankruptcy claim amounts plus interest for non-governmental creditors.  FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, faced legal consequences, being convicted on seven criminal counts, including charges related to embezzling billions of dollars from FTX’s customers. Bankman-Fried was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison. FTT Bulls Eyeing $2.55 For Potential Breakout Continuation As of the latest update, the price of FTT has corrected to $2.050 after reaching its monthly high. This breakout occurred after consolidation between the $1.17 and $1.48 levels. At the current price level, FTT faces a significant resistance at $2.169, which has led to the ongoing correction. If FTT sustains its bullish momentum, the next resistance level to watch is $2.55 in the token’s daily chart.  A successful breakthrough of this level could potentially lead to a retest of the $3 mark, which has not been revisited since January. Related Reading: Forget The Price Dip: Ethereum Network Activity Hints At Imminent Takeoff On the other hand, if the price experiences a further correction, FTT bulls should closely monitor the $1.95 and $1.765 levels, as they serve as crucial support levels. It is essential to prevent a loss of the gains achieved over the past month, which amounts to an 18% increase during this period. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

FTX Estate Offloads $1.9 Billion Worth Of Locked Solana (SOL) Tokens In Sale

In a significant development, FTX bankruptcy trustees have reportedly sold about two-thirds of a $2.6 billion stash of Solana (SOL) at a “deeply discounted price.”  Industry figures such as Galaxy Trading and Pantera Capital were among the investors involved in the deal, according to people familiar with the matter, as reported by Bloomberg. SOL Tokens’ Four-Year Journey Per the report, the FTX estate was able to sell between 25 million and 30 million locked-up Solana coins at $64 each, generating up to $1.9 billion in proceeds for the estate.  Under Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital, Galaxy Trading managed to raise approximately $620 million for a fund established to purchase SOL from the FTX estate. According to the report, investors in the vehicle will be subject to a 1% management fee, and the investment will offer a yield through staking. Related Reading: Dogecoin Deflates: Whats Behind The 20% Price Drop Amidst Memecoin Mania? It is worth noting that the 41 million Solana tokens sold by the FTX estate are locked according to a pre-agreed vesting period, preventing them from being available for trading on the market.  According to Bloomberg, these tokens will gradually become available for sale over the course of four years, which could significantly impact SOL’s price action. However, as the tokens remain locked, SOL’s 739% year-to-date (YTD) uptrend remains intact, and the possibility for further gains remains in the cards. Solana Sale Garners Interest From Prominent Figures FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, convicted of fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison, was a major supporter of SOL.  As previously reported, Bankman-Fried has actively engaged with guards at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is currently incarcerated. He offers investment advice and recommends SOL as a potential opportunity, demonstrating his bullish sentiment on the protocol.  The token, which operates on the Solana blockchain, constituted a significant portion of the digital assets stranded on the collapsed exchange, creating shockwaves throughout the crypto markets.  In addition to Galaxy Digital, Bloomberg notes that selling SOL tokens has attracted the attention of Pantera Capital. This $5.2 billion asset manager has reportedly raised capital for a special fund to acquire up to $250 million of SOL from the FTX estate.  Vancouver-based Neptune Digital Assets Corp. also announced the purchase of 26,964 SOL tokens for $1.7 million on March 27. However, FTX creditors are concerned they will be under-compensated in the SOL sale process.  Creditors Dispute FTX Bankruptcy Ruling In January, the judge overseeing the bankruptcy case ruled that the amount of each claim should be based on what the customer or creditor was owed on the day FTX filed for bankruptcy. At that time, SOL was trading at about $16, well below its current market price. As the price of SOL rallied in recent months, this discrepancy became a point of contention for some creditors. One creditor, Sunil Kavuri, expressed during Bankman-Fried’s final sentencing hearing that the SOL coins are “our property.”  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts ADA Price Crash To $0.34, Why Is Cardano Founder Bullish? Another creditor, whose name was redacted in court documents, stated in a written statement that the FTX estate is “giving away money for free to hedge funds.” In a recent interview, Bankman-Fried claimed the following regarding clients’ growing concerns about underpayment:  I’ve heard and seen the despair, frustration, and sense of betrayal from thousands of customers; they deserve to be paid in full, at current price. That could and should have happened in November 2022, and it could and should happen today. It’s excruciating to see them waiting, day after day.  Currently, the price of SOL stands at $175, reflecting a decrease of up to 6.7% within the last 24 hours and over 7% over the past week.
