Solana Labs Turns a Loss of Approx. $200M Following the Downfall of FTX

• Solana Labs reportedly loses millions of its cryptocurrencies after FTX collapses
• FTX’s recent downfall still has a continuing effect on Solana’s price 
• Solana Labs also seems to have bypassed the most speculative quandary

As reported by Solana Labs recently, a mass of its money (in Millions) in terms of cryptocurrencies is currently withheld in FTX including over 3 million equity shares in SBF’s insolvent crypto platform.

Solana Labs manifests that it has got over 134M SRM tokens and more than 3M FTT tokens on FTX when taking money out of it temporarily came to a standstill. Those cryptocurrencies carry a value of more than $29M and more than $4M, respectively, considering the existing or up-to-date prices of CoinGecko; they carried a worth of approx. $107M and $80M respectively only 20 hours before they came to a standstill.

Those retentions gave an allusion to a profound financial alliance between SOL and FTX, which is known to have developed the FTT token and approached the court for Serum, an FTX launched by Bankman-Fried, which coincidentally seemed to be the heart and soul of Defi to a great degree.

FTX’s recent downfall still has a continuing effect on Solana, maybe most sapiently via its critical sell force on SOL’s price, which is slumped by over 55% in a period of a week. However, FTX’s role in dealing with the base decisive to SOL Defi has also given rise to a quandary for singular codes of conduct.

Several deals–based projects on Solana have lately used wrapped crypto tokens or “Sollet crypto token” as a fill-in for BTC, ETH, and various other non-native cryptos. FTX was taken in as the initiator and supporter of these assets; while it has dissolved into liquidation, this has carried an encumbrance of solely a fistful of codes of conduct with a speculative debt.

“The total exposure to Sollet-based assets on Solana in circulation is valued at approximately $40 million as of Nov 10, 2022. The status of the underlying assets is unknown at this time,” according to the blog post.

Solana Labs also seems to have bypassed the most speculative quandary. It held less than $1M of its annual report on FTX when withdrawals came to a standstill. “The impact on Solana Foundation operations is negligible,” the blog post mentioned.

ETF crypto platforms and other undertakings of different sizes have been laying the cat out of the bag with regard to the FTX and Alameda in the wake of the firms’ abrupt ruin. FTX had taken a loan of approx. $8B in customer deposits to its in-house trading firm – an infringement of its personal T&Cs of service. This caused the annual report to be in utter disorder and which eventually resulted in its collapse very recently.

SBF is looked on to be a principal supporter of Solana, a public blockchain platform, whose indigenous SOL token powers trade throughout the decentralized fiscal codes of conduct – similar to ETH and its “gas” token ETH.

FTX and its trading company had got hold of a total of 58,086,686 SOL tokens from Solana Labs and the sister entity Solana Labs from August 2020 ahead, according to the blog post. Moreover, it is still obscure to Solana Labs in regard to the assets whilst insolvency minutes are taking place.
