Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried cashed out $684,000 in cryptocurrencies, possibly violating bail conditions. This was stated by a DeFi analyst under the pseudonym BowTiedIguana.

2022-12-30 12:38:04 Vitalik Buterin supported Solana blockchain developers

The situation with the FTX exchange provoked a serious drop in the price of SOL, which fell below $10 for the first time in two years, as a result of which the coin dropped to 17th place in terms of market capitalization.

However, not all members of the crypto community are so categorical. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for the developers of Solana, despite the fact that it is a competing blockchain. Buterin wrote that it is difficult for him to give an assessment from the outside, but nevertheless he wished success to the Solana developers

“Smart people have told me that there are serious developers at Solana, and now that the horrible self-interested opportunists have been washed up with their money, the network has a bright future. Hope the community has a chance to thrive,” Buterin tweeted. Open / Comment
