Thị trường Crypto chảy máu: Bitcoin đặt thấp nhất trong 24 tháng — ETH -18%, FTT — 80%
Ra khỏi một ngày cuối tuần tăng, thị trường tiền điện tử đang ở giữa đợt sụt giảm giá lớn nhất kể từ tháng Sáu, vì FTX — Binance drama đặt ra một trong những trường hợp lớn nhất của nỗi sợ hãi, không chắc chắn, và nghi ngờ (FUD) trên thị trường trong năm nay.
Bitcoin (BTC), tiền điện tử lớn nhất thế giới đã giảm 13% giá trị trong 24 giờ qua, đưa giá của nó từ hơn $20k xuống thấp nhất là $17,402—điểm giá thấp nhất kể từ tháng 11 năm 2020. Sau đó, Bitcoin đang cố gắng lấy lại mức $18k, và giao dịch ở mức $17,900 vào thời điểm báo chí.

Ethereum (ETH), tiền điện tử lớn thứ hai, thậm chí còn lớn hơn Bitcoin, vì giá trị của nó sụt giảm hơn 18% trong 24 giờ qua. Sự sụt giảm đã đưa giá ETH xoắn ốc xuống mức thấp nhất là $1,157 từ $1,560. Tại thời điểm báo chí, ETH hiện thay đổi kim ở mức $1,225.

FTX Token (FTT), token gốc của sàn giao dịch FTX đang gặp khó khăn, đã bị tổn thất nặng nhất trong tất cả. FTT đã mất 80% giá trị của nó trong 24 giờ qua để giao dịch thấp đến $4.71, mặc dù được định giá trên $22 trước khi kịch gần đây diễn ra.

- Sam Bankman-Fried, the Founder of FTX and Alameda has looked on in horror as his net worth plummet by 93% from $16 billion to $991 million in just one day, with further losses still expected.

Solana (SOL) Drops 31% As Liquidations Spike Amidst Alameda Research Links
Solana (SOL) has been one of the coins impacted the most by the FTX crash after reports of links between Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research and Solana emerged.
As revealed in recent days, Alameda Research allegedly holds $292 million worth of “unlocked SOL”, $863 million of “locked SOL”, and $41 million of “SOL collateral”. Crypto analysts have opined that the company could look to offload their SOL holdings as the company looks to stay afloat.
Over the last 24 hours, the price of Solana (SOL) has fallen by more than 31%, bringing Solana to a price point 92% short its all-time high. The plunge may have been further exacerbated by the degrading performance of the Solana network.

Tether and Circle Deny Exposure to Struggling FTX and Alameda Research
As Sam Bankman-Fried’s empire continues to fall to ruin, stablecoin giants Tether and Circle, issuers of the USDT and USDC stablecoins, have denied any form of exposure to FTX and Alameda Research.
Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CTO, confirmed that the stablecoin issuer has no exposure to FTX or Alameda in response to a Wu Blockchain tweet which urged the stablecoin issuer to disclose if its users were at any immediate risk.
According to Ardoino, while Alameda Research has issued and redeemed a lot of USDT in the past, Tether has no credit exposure, matured or otherwise, with the struggling crypto trading firm.
Similarly, Co-Founder and CEO of Circle Jeremy Allaire took to Twitter to explain that, although FTX had been a Circle API for more than 18 months, Circle has little equity in FTX, as is the case with other exchanges.
Flipsider:
- While FTX participated in Circle’s funding round, an approximate 80% of the firm’s assets are in the form of 3 month or less U.S. treasury bills in the custody of BNY Mellon.

The disclosure from the top stablecoin issuers is aimed at quelling the FUD surrounding the ensuing collapse in an attempt to limit the damage being done to the crypto market.
