Crypto news to know

FTX starts creditor repayments

FTX Digital Markets has begun repaying US$1.2 billion to creditors, marking a new step in its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. The first round of payments prioritizes creditors with claims under US$50,000.

FTX creditor Sunil, a member of the exchange’s largest creditor group, said over 1,500 claimants will receive payments in this initial round. However, larger creditors are still awaiting further updates.

The FTX collapse in 2022 contributed to one of the harshest downturns in crypto history.

While the repayments signal progress, many large claims remain unresolved. Future repayments and creditor actions will determine the long-term effects on market liquidity and investor confidence.

SOL down over 40 percent in last month

SOL has now dropped over 40 percent in the past month, trading around the US$170 level at this writing.

The decline follows a peak of nearly US$290 on January 19, according to Coinbase data.

Aran Hawker, CEO of CoinPanel, described the situation to Forbes as a “perfect storm” caused by multiple bearish factors, including waning meme coin interest, a sharp drop in on-chain activity and declining investor confidence.

Another major factor pressuring SOL is the upcoming March 1 token unlock, which will release 11.16 million tokens into circulation. Institutional investors have reportedly shifted holdings from SOL to ETH in anticipation of this event.
