No, FTX creditors will not receive $16 billion today | Protos

One of yesterday’s trending news stories on X was a supposed reminder that today, September 30, would be the day that FTX bankruptcy creditors would receive approximately $16 billion. Like many breaking headlines on X, however, that is entirely untrue. Posts about the supposed payouts and the ostensible distribution of FTT liquidity earned hundreds of thousands of impressions and thousands of likes. Undeterred by fact checks, traders bid up the price of FTX’s proprietary token, FTT, from less than $1.40 on Saturday to a high of $2.71 on Sunday. Although FTX’s bankruptcy estate has announced plans to make distributions during the fourth quarter, there are no distributions happening this week. The next earliest date that distributions could occur would be after the bankruptcy plan confirmation hearing on October 7 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. $FTT pumped 115% in the last 24 hours   The reason behind this pump is that a news started to come that #FTX dist...

Coinbase Sees More Bitcoin and Altcoin Rallies in Q4 Amid Favorable Macro-Economic Outlook

Top US-based crypto exchange Coinbase believes digital assets are just warming up for big rallies in the months ahead. In a new research report, Coinbase Institutional says the recent change in the macroeconomic backdrop suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto are primed for a Q4 surge. Coinbase says the Fed and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) are now pursuing looser monetary policies – conditions that have historically been supportive of higher crypto prices. “Looking ahead, we retain a constructive outlook for 4Q24 mostly predicated on our favorable view of the current macro environment, alongside the idiosyncratic factors listed above. For example, just last week, we argued that one of the most significant implications of the Fed decision to cut 50bps (basis points) is that this provides cover for other monetary authorities to take more stimulative measures. This has been followed by China revealing a massive double fiscal and monetary stimulus p...

Upcoming Quarter Looking Solid for Bitcoin and Altcoins, Says Analyst Kevin Svenson – Here’s His Outlook

Image
Cryptocurrency analyst Kevin Svenson believes Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins will witness big upside bursts for the rest of the year. In a new video, Svenson tells his 79,800 YouTube subscribers that Bitcoin and altcoins are poised for more gains over the coming weeks and months. According to Svenson, the altcoin market cap appears to be repeating a pattern witnessed in the last cycle, when it took 157 weeks before igniting a massive breakout rally. “The altcoin market cap has been consolidating for the entire year. In the beginning of 2024, the altcoins had a huge run into March, gave up all of their gains and now have started to recover. The altcoin market cap is beginning to break above resistance… Around 10 weeks from now, we’re going to be breaking the lower high [total altcoin market cap of $820 billion], which means a lot of altcoins have tremendous growth coming from now into November. So Q4 is looking solid for the altcoins and for Bitcoin for th...
