The implications of FTX's multi-billion crypto sell-off...

[sesterceshop]

FTX wants permission to sell $3.4 billion in crypto assets, including a big chunk of Solana (SOL) tokens. They're also tangled in a lawsuit with LayerZero over $21 million in lost assets. The Delaware Bankruptcy Court will decide today, September 13, 2023. FTX plans to sell tokens, starting with $100 million a week, possibly going up to $200 million for each type. FTX owns $1.16 billion in SOL tokens, a big part of their $3.4 billion crypto stash.

Could this possibly have a major impact on the crypto market? I personally don't think so because of the $100-$200M selling limit per week. Also, FTX's Solana exposure is vested, meaning they won't be able to access those tokens until 2028. But, as we all know, anything is possible in crypto! Let's see how the market reacts.

I used to own Solana, but when I heard this news two days ago, I decided to sell my Solana holdings. To be honest, I didn't want to take the risk of holding it in case FTX gets permission to sell. I believe this could have some impact. So, I sold it and plan to buy it back once this process is complete because I believe Solana is a promising cryptocurrency that will have a long-lasting presence in the crypto market

And because the news leaked out, expect investors to dump Solana before they give FTX a chance to sell theirs. This is the good part when you are updated with the current news. Whales won't have a chance to sell at the peak of the price while retail investors could take advantage of this and be the first to do it.

Will this affect the cryptocurrency market? It sure will. That's a lot of money and it alarms all who are holding whatever asset FTX has. It could be either an opportunity to sell while it's in this position or it will be a devastating event for those who have not heard the gospel just yet. If they will keep on selling every week then I bet we will have a dump until the end of this year for the coins that they have possession with.

At the time of writing, the global cryptocurrency market cap is $1.04T. FTX's asset of $3.4B is around 0.3% of the current whole market cap. So that minuscule number would hardly make a major impact on the cryptocurrency market. Even without the selling limits, I believe it would not significantly affect the market.

FTX has done enough as one of the contagion causes, so the current case would not affect the market as how it did back then. Nevertheless, as noted by Messari tweet, it likely affects some coins, especially those that have few weekly trading volumes. But generally, if we talk about the whole market, it will be fine.

If we look at as a whole for sure it cannot affect as a whole since even if many will sell and no noise will be created for sure no movement gonna happen with that scenarios. But if that incidents are been used by manipulator and they want to create fear to people then provably there's some bad movements will happen since we know how people reacts on negative news they hear so most provably we can see a short term dump happen when that massive sell off came.

That is the smartest move mate,  if I had own any of that could coin I would also do the same because this sell off will definitely hit the market hard,  and it will be one of the biggest dump of solana,  after the first which haven't even fully recovered,  I bet the court won't grant this request considering the negative impact and loses this could incure to Solana investors.

FTX,  may bring a more dark days for the market if the request is granted and I wonder what the reason for the sell of I thought the 3.4 billion should be aimed at paying back investors who lost their money through the FTX bankruptcy drama that started some time ago.

It seems to me that this is just a new scarecrow to manipulate the price in the market. This has already happened with other major exchanges that were hacked or went bankrupt. Now there will be new news that FTX may sell a large amount. But it seems to me that it will not happen, and if it does, it will probably be sold in parts and not on regular exchanges. It's just hype.

[coiningz]

I think that this selling pressure is not as hard as it could be. However, it may be a good time for higher volatility and market manipulation

Will many people panic with this news? On X.com there are a lot of tweets that sound like they are scaring FTX who will sell assets every week for hundreds of millions of dollars and that will happen today? Then what happens is that the market seems to be so calm it doesn't turn red, is it possible that this is only a small portion of the assets of all current market capital?
Regarding market price manipulation, my thoughts are a little bit in that direction, this can be exploited by whales who will buy at the bottom and those who panic due to this news will be a little angry and may have started selling.

I will provide you a complete chart of crypto assets owned by FTX now. Solana community must be feeling worry about this. The price of solana has been plunged so hard due to this news. The dump from FTX will make it go down even deeper in a short time.
I expect panic selling for solana to happen in upcoming days. Im not feeling worry about BTC and ETH caused by these cryptos have so many daily trade volumes that can prevent the dump.
Solana is just having 300 millions daily trade volume. It will be so difficult to dump it as FTX owned 3/1 compared with daily trade volume of solana.

I could not have major impact for whole of market but i will say yes for solana. Solana is heavily invested by FTX. The solana community must move to another crypto to protect its asset from the dump by FTX

"Once this process is complete" will probably be too late. The best time to buy more is when people are focused on the negatives and panic selling, like right about now.

If we're talking about dumping billions in assets then for sure that there's an impact on the market. But if there's a selling limit like how much in a week, maybe not that much. I was thinking of a single blow sale that they'll do.

Also, FTX's Solana exposure is vested, meaning they won't be able to access those tokens until 2028. But, as we all know, anything is possible in crypto! Let's see how the market reacts.

Can't that be altered? as long as they've got that interest of dumping it then for sure that there's a way for them to remove that locked in period for that asset.

[shinratensei_]

this is why investing in solana is always has been a bad idea, its quite literally just a tool for this company to make profit, quite frankly it didn't deserve any praise from the community.
just imagine this company just outright dumping the token, it will definitely have an impact, but honestly this could also be an opportunity of accumulation where fear is there, but it could become double edged sword since if it further dumps when we are making entry then we're gonna incur losses, after all solana trend hasn't been showing a good sign.
it has been going down ever since, chance of recovery i think are slim, people are considering twice before investing in solana which should be logical choices at this point.

There will be a big impact considering its value and hopefully the court will study this thoroughly because the whole market might experience a short negative result. Wondering if they will still pay those who lose the money on their platform or instead of selling it why not distribute it to the real owners of those crypto. With the big value that they recovered, I believe its already enough to compensate every users of this platform before.

With the affected coins, definitely. But seeing as there's a limit per week, I don't think we'd be seeing anything big of a dump, we might see a lot of traders taking advantage of the weekly sale though and make moves on the market, so you can expect a lot of changes within those say 2,3 days after the sale, but after that it should become relatively steady again. Cycle would probably repeat, and maybe only after a few months can we see if any significant change actually happened.

If we do add the confidence of investors in SOL though, then things change. A lot of holders would've probably sold their coins temporarily for now since this sell off would inevitably stagnate, if not dump the market of SOL. What would be the use of hodling it by then? They'd probably sell it off even if the request hasn't gone through yet, so a drop in the SOL market would probably be expected.

The prospect of these coins being sold off onto the market regularly every week makes the community extremely worried. With the plan approved, FTX will sell the coins without informing the community, instead, they will only notify the government trustees and creditor representatives. FTX proposed in the plan that they would sell this crypto without prior notice.

This initial proposal met with opposition from some commissioners. They believe that the sale of large amounts of BTC, ETH and similar coins needs to be widely announced to the community first. This can help reduce the impact on the market and keep people fearless. FTX revised the proposal based on officials' opinions. However, FTX still maintains the stance of not announcing sell orders in advance to keep the coin prices at the best possible level.

Perhaps we also need to be alert to these issues, because selling this compared to the market value will not be worth it, so don't be too afraid of the news, but also need to be careful with the crypto you are holding that FTX holds. The current situation seems like the market has not yet reacted strongly to this, after all, this is an ongoing part, besides we are also at a stage where there is also a lot of special attention for for the market sales.

No doubt why Solana is the biggest loser after the FTX Exchange collapse. Because FTX Exchange really owned a lot.
And we also witness how FTX Exchange shill Solana before, FTX Exchange acting Solana is their own chain network like BNB of Binance, although it is not really direct compared to other exchange that has their own chain network.

[libert19]

This proposal is approved now and market is in Greens lol, even the ones listed to be sold by FTX, which is wonder to me, I expected a dump. Market reacted worse before approval than after.

This will certainly have a huge impact, especially for Solana. Big sales mean there will be dumps. It will be a challenge for Solana to survive all these dumps. But the market will certainly move. It's a shame because I think Solana is one of the best when it comes to fast and smooth chain linking.

Panic breeds panic. It's just that FTX assets are not as big as they seem. I think that even if they sell every week, but a few hundred million dollars is not that much. There are daily trades in the market, much more than that. But some people still believe such news and sell at the bottom and regret it later.
