📰 Yello Paradisers!
The cryptocurrency world is on high alert as FTX, the troubled crypto exchange, is expected to receive court approval to liquidate an estimated $3.4 billion in digital assets. The potential green light for this massive liquidation could come as early as September 13, causing market stakeholders to brace for impact.
📰 Bearish Shadows
IntoTheBlock, a respected crypto analytics firm, warns that the impending FTX liquidation could negatively affect Ethereum and Solana. Despite positive developments like Visa’s involvement and a potential ETH ETF, FTX’s liquidation could be the market’s puppet master.

📰 Don’t Panic Yet
Notable crypto commentator Hitesh.eth suggests that even if the court approval comes through, the liquidation might not start immediately. FTX plans to offload up to $100 million in digital assets weekly, occasionally stretching to $200 million.
📰 Altcoins on the Edge
Solana (SOL), which forms a significant part of FTX’s assets, has already seen a 5.1% price dip. FTT, FTX’s native token, also raises concerns due to its limited liquidity and market depth.
📰 Legal Maneuvers
FTX is not sitting idle; it’s actively seeking legal avenues to recover assets. The exchange recently filed a clawback lawsuit against LayerZero and is pursuing millions from various entities, including Ari Litan, LayerZero’s COO.
📰 Celebrity Endorsements Revisited
FTX is also reconsidering promotional fees given to sports celebrities like Naomi Osaka and Shaquille O’Neal. These celebrities had received significant amounts for their endorsements during FTX’s more prosperous days.
