FTX's portfolio liquidation is unlikely to shake the market significantly, as noted by Coinbase in their latest weekly report.
They cited multiple reasons supporting this claim.
1. Weekly Sell Limits: Initially, liquidations are capped at $50 million per week for digital assets. This limit will gradually increase to $100 million in subsequent weeks. Any permanent increase to a maximum limit of $200 million requires approval from two committees representing FTX debtors.
2. Insider-Affiliated Tokens: Stricter controls govern the sale of “insider-affiliated” tokens, necessitating a 10-day advance notice to the same committees.
3. Locked Holdings: A significant portion of FTX’s SOL holdings, along with some other tokens, are locked until approximately 2025 due to token vesting schedules, limiting their availability for sale.
4. Hedging Measures: FTX has the option to hedge its sales of BTC, ETH, and other debtor-identified assets through an investment advisor, contingent on prior committee approval. These precautions ensure a measured and controlled approach to asset liquidation.
