FTX Sends Fresh $10 Million in Solana to 30 wallets
FTX's Solana transfers are part of efforts to repay creditors under its Chapter 11 reorganization plan, with $6.8 billion already disbursed across two phases.
Defunct crypto firms FTX and Alameda Research have moved $10.3 million worth of Solana (SOL) to 30 blockchain addresses, continuing their methodical liquidation of digital assets.
The transfer, carried out on June 13, was flagged by on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence.

Blockchain researcher EmberCN confirmed the activity and noted that the firms had recently unstaked 188,000 SOL, worth around $31.5 million. A portion of those tokens has already been redirected to the new addresses.
Meanwhile, these transfers follow a consistent pattern observed since November 2023, where both entities have routinely offloaded large volumes of SOL.
Since then, EmberCN noted that the bankrupt firms have moved over 8.4 million SOL, amounting to more than $1.09 billion.

Most of these tokens reportedly moved at an average price of $130 and were often routed through major exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase, suggesting active selloff. Market observers noted that these are part of efforts to reimburse creditors following their bankruptcy in 2022.
However, despite the consistent outflows, the estate still holds a significant amount of Solana. FTX still has about 5.29 million SOL, valued at over $775 million, remaining under its control, with 5.05 million locked in staking contracts.
Meanwhile, the recent Solana transactions come as FTX continues disbursing funds under its approved Chapter 11 reorganization plan.
The bankrupt estate has completed two payment phases to former customers and investors in recent months. The failed firm paid approximately $1.8 billion in February to creditors, followed by an additional $5 billion in May.
Moreover, FTX recently added Payoneer to its list of distribution partners. This move complements existing custodians Kraken and BitGo and aims to streamline the repayment process while expanding global reach.
Analysts suggest this inclusion aims to help users in jurisdictions where crypto custodian limitations previously delayed access to funds.
Still, many creditors in countries like Russia, China, Egypt, and Nigeria remain blocked from receiving payouts. These users made up a sizable portion of FTX’s customer base before the exchange collapsed.

In four months, Korean retail investors' "ammunition stockpile" has dropped by 36.5%, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the year. Although retail investors have collectively made net purchases exceeding 75 trillion won, they are still absorbing the sell-off, but the influx of new funds has dried up, and the replenishment rate lags far behind the consumption rate. Combined with the KOSPI plunging nearly 20% this month, continued net selling by foreign investors, and concerns over AI-related credit risks, the Korean stock market may find it difficult to see a sustained rebound in the short term without support from private investors' funds.

The extremely crowded trade of "going long on AI, short on everything else" is undergoing a painful unwinding—markets are no longer satisfied with the "burn rate narrative." Mega-scale cloud providers must deliver real, visible revenue conversions alongside $1.1 trillion in capital expenditures. A power gap of 40-50 gigawatts, rising capital costs, and a macro paradigm shift from an era of "overspending" are turning AI trades from a matter of faith into a harsh test of monetization.
