FTX Sells $13.35 Million Of CoinsAccording to Lookonchain, an on-chain tracker, FTX and Alameda Research last deposited COMP, the governance token of Compound, and RNDR, the native token of Render, on October 26, an indicator that the project is actively liquidating assets after finding approval in late September 2023.
COMP prices are relatively stable at spot rates, steadying at a key resistance level. The token is also up 20% from October 2023 lows and is within a bullish formation, moving inside the range established from June to July 2023. Even so, for the uptrend to take shape, traders expect more gains that would push the token above September 2023 highs at $50, a psychological level.
On the other hand, RNDR is extending gains, marching higher when writing. To illustrate, the token is up 60% from September lows, with bulls remaining resilient, looking at the formation in the daily chart. Bulls have been shaking off bear attempts as they target to reclaim May 2023 highs at around $2.9. This is a critical liquidation line that, if broken, could see RNDR register new 2023 highs.
FTX received court approval to sell tokens and repay creditors in September 2023. Judge John Dorsey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware approved the motion, allowing FTX to sell up to $100 million of tokens weekly, including Bitcoin and Solana, to repay its creditors.
Then, the exchange said the proceeds from the sale would be used to repay its creditors in a “fair, orderly, and efficient manner.” As part of this, FTX will also liaise with creditors to develop a distribution plan.
FTX Is Bankrupt And SBF Is Under Trial In ManhattanFTX went bankrupt in late 2022, triggering a series of liquidations that saw leading crypto assets slump to worrying levels, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. By Q4 2022, Bitcoin was changing hands at around $16,000, worsened by sentiments that saw crypto users rush to exchanges, withdrawing their coins, worrying that there would be a contagion.
The leg down, however, marked the last phase of the bear run since asset prices spectacularly recovered in Q1 2023 before closing H1 2023 with solid gains. The Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) trial in a Manhattan court is ongoing while FTX managers search for ways to make creditors whole. SBF is blamed for mismanaging the crypto exchange and pilfering user funds into billions.
