Why FTX's Token Sale Is A Non-Issue For Crypto Stability: Coinbase Explains
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Despite the token sale by bankrupt exchange FTX, the crypto market is expected to remain stable, according to Coinbase. FTX's holdings include $1.16 billion in Solana, $560 million in Bitcoin, and $192 million in Ether. FTX has been granted permission to liquidate and reinvest these assets to settle its debts. Coinbase has implemented protective measures capping initial sales at $50 million per week, which could increase to $100 million and potentially $200 million with approval from FTX's debtors.
