Hey there, Annie!
Have you heard about the latest news on Pantera Capital?
They've reportedly won a bid to purchase discounted Solana (SOL) from the bankrupt crypto exchange platform FTX.๐
Really?
That's interesting.
How many SOL tokens did they buy?
Well, the exact details haven't been made public yet, but it's said that 2,000 SOL tokens were sold this week.
Earlier in April, FTX sold about 66% of its $2.6 billion trove of SOL at a discounted price of about $60.
Wow, that's a lot of SOL!๐ฒ But why did FTX sell them at a discounted price?
Good question!
FTX is currently bankrupt, so they're probably trying to liquidate their assets as quickly as possible to pay off their debts.
I see... And how much is SOL trading for now?
As of now, SOL is trading for $142.
It's actually decreased by 1.85% during the last 24 hours.
Back on November 1st, it was trading for just $41.40.
So Pantera Capital bought them at a cheaper price then.๐ค But when can they start using these tokens?
Well, the Solana sold by FTX is locked by an agreed-upon vesting period and will have to be held for at least four years.
So, Pantera will have to wait a bit before they can use them.
Four years?
That's quite a long time.
But I guess it's a good investment if the price of SOL continues to rise.๐
Exactly!
And remember, back in March, Pantera announced that it was going to fundraise $250 million to purchase Solana from the failed digital asset exchange.
They originally planned to have the money by February but couldn't meet that deadline.
So, is this news good or bad for the market?
Well, it's certainly good news for Pantera Capital as they've managed to buy SOL at a discounted price.
As for the market, it could potentially boost confidence among investors knowing that big firms are still willing to invest in crypto, even from bankrupt exchanges.๐
To sum up, this article is considered a ๐Bullish for investors!!
