Even though the FTX bankruptcy was two months ago, the issue is far from over for the crypto industry. Currently, new FTX CEO John Ray and his team are working to find as many liquid assets as possible to make up for the customer losses.<\/p>\n
As Bitcoinist reported<\/a> yesterday, they have managed to recover around $5 billion in liquid assets. \u201cWe have located over $5 billion of cash, liquid cryptocurrency and liquid investment securities,\u201d Andy Dietderich, an attorney for FTX said Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.<\/p>\n What may have been even more noteworthy was Dietderich\u2019s statement that FTX plans to dump non-strategic holdings with a book value of $4.6 billion, which could lead to tremendous selling pressure in the crypto market.<\/p>\n While Dietderich also stressed that the legal team is still working to create accurate internal records, which could mean that the sale will be pushed back a bit, the liquidators could also take a staggered approach to the process.<\/p>\n The FTX lawyer also revealed that the recovered funds do not include the assets seized by the Bahamas Securities and Exchange Commission, which Dietderich estimates at only $170 million, while Bahamian authorities put the value as high as $3.5 billion. That\u2019s because the funds primarily consist of the illiquid FTT<\/a> tokens, Dietderich said.<\/p>\n Coinbase director Conor Grogan has been looking through all wallets to determine which altcoins FTX still owns. The largest crypto position, according to Grogan, is Solana (SOL), of which FTX owns more<\/a> than $700 million. To this, however, the Coinbase director notes that most of them are locked, so he is not sure why they might have counted them.<\/p>\n This is followed by $575 million in FTT, $371 million MAPS, $127 million OXY, $90 million WBTC, $82 million BONA, and around $500 million \u201cin other random\u201d Solana-based (SPL) tokens.<\/p>\n \u201cMy simple model is that the estate wants a \u2018win\u2019 and good publicity to talk through all the progress they\u2019ve made,\u201d Grogan claimed<\/a> and continued on to say that in his opinion, the $5 billion figure is far too high for what could be sold on an open market.<\/p>\n At the same time, Grogan acknowledged that the $4.6 billion is likely not just altcoins, but also Robinhood shares, other stocks, and real estate. \u201c400 million in Robinhood is a significant number that is probably fairly valued. The rest\u2026 Hard to say,\u201d the Coinbase director said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the on-chain analysis service \u201cLookonchain\u201d has drawn<\/a> attention to the Alameda assets receiving wallet, which received 30 million USDC from \u201cAlameda Research 25\u201d a few hours ago.<\/p>\n The wallet currently holds crypto worth $167 million, including 100 million BIT ($46.6 million), 41 million USDT, 31.8 million USDC, 17,177 ETH ($24 million), 4.6 million SUSHI ($5.2 million), 10 million WXRP ($3.76 million), 6.86 million RNDR ($3.2 million), and 6.86 million SRM ($1.6 million).<\/p>\n At press time, the Solana (SOL) price stood at $16.27. The price almost doubled since the bottom at $8.16 on December 29.<\/p>\nMassive Crypto Dump Coming?<\/h2>\n
