Crypto research institution Messari issued a document stating that FTX liquidators hold approximately null.3 billion in liquid crypto assets (excluding stablecoins). The relevant number is not the absolute value of the token held, but its active trading volume relative to each asset. For example, FTX/Alameda’s BTC holdings ($353 million) represent approximately 1% of BTC’s weekly trading volume, which means that the market can absorb most of the sell-off, and the same is true for ETH. However, for less liquid assets such as DOGE, TRX, MATIC, etc., the amount held by FTX accounts for 6-12% of weekly trading volume and may have a greater impact on the market. Although SOL and APT have significant dollar value and relative market capacity impact, these assets are held by Alameda and venture capital investors and are primarily composed of unlocked tokens that are not immediately circulating on the public market. Only $9.2 million in SOL will be unlocked each month, which significantly reduces the impact of liquidations, making them more manageable similar to BTC and ETH liquidations.
