Over $1.5B worth of $SOL, SPL tokens, and Wrapped #Bitcoin in FTX's Solana addresses are shifting‼️
Looks like they're gearing up for potential sell-offs.
Keep an eye on this, especially the ~$200M in #Solana Wrapped $BTC.#crypto #bitcoin … pic.twitter.com/sRDI6hvTJD
During the ongoing legal proceedings involving FTX., the FTX debtors have appointed Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Capital Management as their security adviser charged with overseeing the sale and management of its recovered crypto holdings.
According to the filings, the FTX estate can only sell up to $100 million per week for most tokens initially, but this limit could potentially be increased to $200 million for each token separately.
Additionally, the debtors intend to hedge their positions in Bitcoin and Ether to reduce the impact of price fluctuations on the sale proceeds. They may also consider other assets for hedging purposes, with approval granted on a token-specific basis.
The filing also suggests providing ten days’ notice to the Committee and Ad Hoc Committee of creditors prior to selling bitcoin, ether, and other “insider” digital assets.
As per the documents filed on 12th April, FTX had $4.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency available for stakeholder retrieval at market rates.
Earlier this month a cybersecurity incident took place involving Kroll, the bankruptcy claims agent for FTX, who had compromised certain non-sensitive user data. The breach has raised concerns among claimants and stakeholders, prompting immediate action from both Kroll and FTX.
