Coinbase said that there are several mitigating factors that should reduce the risk of market shocks when FTX tokens are eventually sold:
First, it’s unlikely these tokens will flood the market because liquidations are bound by weekly sell limits of $50M per week across digital assets in the initial phase, before increasing to $100M in subsequent weeks.
Second, there are strict controls in place for selling certain “insider-affiliated” tokens that require 10 days advance notice to these same committees.
Third, a major part of FTX’s SOL holdings are locked up until around 2025 due to the token’s vesting schedule, as are some other tokens up for sale.
Fourth, FTX will be able to hedge its sales of BTC and ETH as well as other debtor-identified assets through an investment advisor, assuming it receives prior committee approval.

In the latest filing by the SEC, the regulator says that the Binance US audit found it “very difficult to ensure the company was fully collateralized.”
On Monday, the SEC asked the court to reject Binance’s objections to the SEC’s motion and to inspect the exchange.
Adam Cochran said the exchange mixes user funds with its own assets from profits to cover the lack of collateral.
