An FTX-linked wallet has recently redeemed 177,693 SOL tokens from the Solana network, drawing significant attention.
This wallet, associated with FTX, had previously contributed to a price drop in SOL following FTX’s bankruptcy in November 2022.
According to data from Solscan, this wallet has moved $23.75 million worth of Solana coins today, sparking speculation about potential transfers to centralized exchanges (CEXs). Despite this, the amount moved is relatively small compared to the total SOL holdings of the wallet, which still includes 7.057 million SOL, valued at around $943 million.
The price of Solana (SOL) remains stable, trading at $135 with a market cap of $63.57 billion. Since the start of 2024, SOL has risen by 35% and has increased over 650% year-over-year.
The timing of this move is notable as former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison is set to attend a hearing on September 24, with potential leniency in her sentencing due to her cooperation and testimony.
