FTX Releases $431M SOL, Raising Market Concerns
Following market analysis the FTX exchange released $431 million of SOL from its locked tokens to help repay its creditors which impacts Solana directly. The latest substantial SOL token release from FTX since November 2023 raises fears that substantial selling will hurt Solana”s market value.
Though FTX holds a substantial amount the company remains restricted in daily sales amounts. FTX must gain court permission before selling more than $50 million in the first week which becomes $100 million for following weeks with authority to apply for increased amounts.
FTX creditors will receive their next significant payments on May 30. FTX will return $14.5 billion to $16.3 billion worth of assets to those who lent money to the exchange. The 98% satisfaction rate for creditors under the repayment plan may face pressure from incoming Solana tokens that might decrease their market value.
People invested in Solana and crypto need to observe upcoming market events because these changes determine if Solana survives its difficulties this month. The stability of SOL”s trading remains uncertain because of combined market impacts and its trading platform performance.
