SOL is the largest asset on the FTX estate balance sheet, coming in at just over $1.16 billion, CoinDesk previously reported.
While the token has risen nearly 70% during the last month and is up 10% year-on-year, with the anniversary of the FTX collapse approaching, the price has dropped by 15% from a 14-month high on signs a recent rally may be losing momentum on looming sell pressure. Unstaking and moving tokens to exchanges is the first step in liquidating assets, but the estate hasn't yet sold any.
Earlier this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleged in a suit that Solana constituted a security, though market volatility eased after the Solana Foundation publicly disputed the SEC's allegation and Ripple scored a partial victory that legal experts said was a setback in the commission's war on crypto. #ContentStar#According.
