Solana Faces Challenges Amid FTX and Alameda Liquidations

In recent weeks, Solana's price has significantly fallen due to large-scale sales by FTX and Alameda Research, causing concern among investors.

FTX and Alameda’s Selling Impact

Sales of Solana by two major market players following FTX's collapse in 2022 caused a massive decline in the token's price. Former key investors FTX and Alameda are liquidating assets, increasing market pressure.

Market Behavior: Pre and Post Collapse

Before FTX's collapse, Solana reached an all-time high of $259.96. However, the price plummeted below $10 after the bankruptcy, raising serious concerns among investors. By early 2023, the price stabilized around $22-25.

Solana’s Recovery: Can It Bounce Back?

Despite challenges, Solana continues to operate and support decentralized applications. Some large holders are accumulating Solana, believing in its long-term potential.

Solana's price has declined by over 90% over the years due to sales by FTX and Alameda. Recovery is possible but requires significant efforts to restore investor confidence.
