As the digital asset market continues to grapple with the scandal surrounding trading firm Alameda Research’s balance sheet, traders in Asia rose to a market that was partially in the red. As a result of a public dispute between Binance CEO Changpeng CZ Zhao and Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison over the sale of Binance’s FTT holdings, FTX’s FTT exchange token, which accounts for a sizeable portion of Alameda’s assets, is down 5% on the day.
Reportedly, the exchange balances of FTT are also rising. High exchange balances typically indicate that there is a lot of liquidity for buying and selling tokens. As traders try to sell tokens, this typically leads to a downward price trend.
