FTX·Alameda, additional 23.9 billion won worth of SOL unpledged... Accelerating creditor repayment speed
Responsible for the FTX bankruptcy proceedings, Alameda Research has unpledged approximately 198,425 Solana (SOL) and transferred them to the FTX creditor distribution wallet. The transfer amount is about $16.18 million, approximately 23.9 billion Korean won, as part of the total $12.7 billion repayment plan. Currently, there is still an unpaid balance of about $5.1 billion, and further transfers may occur in the future.
According to on-chain data tracking firm Arkham Intelligence on the 13th, Alameda’s staking account has transferred about 198,425 SOL to the bankruptcy wallet associated with FTX. Alameda still holds about 3.57 million SOL, worth over $293 million.
This transfer is not the first time. In March this year, Alameda, as part of the same repayment process, also unpledged about $17 million worth of SOL. According to a court order in New York, FTX and Alameda’s bankruptcy assets are required to pay a total of $12.7 billion, of which $7.6 billion has been paid so far.
Market observers believe that large-scale unpledging may exert short-term pressure on Solana (SOL) prices. However, the bankruptcy team has not sold off assets all at once but has instead dispersed them across multiple wallets. This move can be interpreted as an effort to mitigate market shock. In fact, SOL has recently traded around $81.93 in the past 24 hours, down about 1%.
Whenever large-scale unlocking and transfers occur, SOL has experienced short-term fluctuations of about 3-5%. Given the large remaining creditor repayment scale, Alameda’s Solana wallets are likely to remain under close market scrutiny until the final settlement is completed.
Article summary by TokenPost.ai 🔎 Market interpretation The ongoing SOL unpledging by FTX and Alameda is creating structural selling pressure driven by creditor repayments, which is short-term factors that may increase price volatility.
💡 Strategic points Large asset transfers are likely to be carried out in batches and sold gradually, expected to bring incremental downward pressure rather than sharp declines. Investors should monitor on-chain wallet tracking and unpledging schedules.
📘 Terminology explanation Unpledging: The process of unlocking pledged cryptocurrencies, restoring them to a transferable or sellable state. Bankruptcy wallet: A wallet managed by the court used to hold and transfer assets for creditor distribution.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Why does Alameda continue to transfer Solana? This is part of the process of liquidating assets to fulfill creditor payments after FTX’s bankruptcy. The SOL transfers are also part of the total $12.7 billion repayment plan.
Q. Why not sell all at once but handle in batches? Large-scale selling could trigger a sharp price drop. To minimize market impact and protect creditor recovery value, transfers and sales are done gradually.
Q. What potential impact could this have on Solana’s price in the future? In the short term, concerns over additional asset unlocking may increase price volatility. Past cases show that similar large transfers have caused 3-5% declines, so ongoing monitoring is crucial.
