FTX just sold $1.9 billion worth of SOL!
They did this to pay off some of the debt of their cryptocurrency exchange, which isn't working anymore. They sold Solana tokens for $64 each, which is less than what they're usually sold for, at $172.
Even though FTX sold a lot of SOL, people still think SOL is good. SOL's market value has been going up, and now it's the seventh biggest cryptocurrency.
A lot of companies wanted to buy the tokens, like Galaxy Digital and Pantera Capital.
Because FTX sold so many tokens, it might make the market a bit shaky. Some people noticed that FTX-related wallets moved a lot of SOL tokens to exchanges.
But even with all this, SOL's price only dropped a little bit, 0.2%, in the last day. This year, SOL's price went up a lot, 350%, even after people worried about what would happen after FTX and Alameda Research collapsed.
People on social media are talking a lot about what this sell-off could mean for SOL's price and the whole market. But most people still think things will go well.
