The mass transfer of SOL to cryptocurrency exchanges is part of FTX’s plan to shed its crypto holdings. According to previous analysis, FTX held a total of $3.4 billion in crypto. Find out more about it here.
FTX and Alameda trading sold a total of $13.5 million in cryptocurrencies prior to the SOL transfer. The bankrupt exchange dumped 974,270 Render (RNDR) and 21,967 Compound (COMP), before moving SOL tokens to exchanges.
Solana price yielded 39.68% gains to SOL token holders over the past week on Binance. The recent transfer of SOL tokens to the crypto exchange is likely to increase the selling pressure on the altcoin. Mass selloff of Solana by FTX could negatively impact the asset’s price on Binance and Coinbase.
SOL price is $32.77 at the time of writing, the altcoin has yielded 1.11% gains on the day.
