SPX Bear market bounce IMO Inflation has peaked in the US but not yet in the rest of the world -- old news. Recession will be the next narrative to show up. Declining inflation along with declining profitability will be obvious in the news 1st of the year. Expect US GDP growth to go flat to negative early next year.

Will Solana Recover? by Steve Walters Many institutions and entities have been impacted by the collapse of FTX, but few have suffered as much as the Ethereum competitor Solana (SOL). The reasons are easy to see. FTX founder and ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been a huge proponent of Solana for several years. Both FTX and its sister company Alameda Research are tied financially with Solana, and Solana’s on-chain cryptocurrency exchange and liquidity hub Serum was founded by Bankman-Fried as well. All those ties led to a massive dump of SOL, which has fallen roughly 65% following the news of FTX’s collapse. While the bulk of that loss occurred in the days immediately following news of FTX being insolvent, the SOL token continues to slide steadily lower. Image via CoinMarketCap Despite all the investor FUD in the initial days of the FTX saga, all may not be as bleak as it seems. Below, I’ll unpack some of the details surrounding the financial interdependence between Solana and FTX/Alameda, as well as looking at how the Solana network, ecosystem, and community are responding to the recent events. The Financials As reported in this blog post, Solana was fortunate in having less than $1 million in assets on the FTX exchange when it ceased processing withdrawals. As this represents less than 1% of the total assets of the Solana Foundation, the impact of this loss was negligible. What's more critical is the exposure the Solana Foundation has to FTX and Alameda, along with the massive amount of SOL held by FTX and Alameda Research. When FTX halted withdrawals on November 6, 2022, the Solana Foundation had exposure to the following assets (which are being held in FTX.com accounts): 3.24M shares of FTX Trading LTD common stock 3.43M FTT tokens 134.54M SRM tokens It’s uncertain how many (or if any) of these funds will be returned to the Solana Foundation. More concerning at the time of the FTX failure was the massive amount of SOL held by Alameda Research and FTX Trading... More than 58 million SOL tokens. Naturally, investors fear these tokens will be dumped on the market, further depressing the price of SOL. Image via Solana blog However, there are several reasons why the feared SOL dump may not occur. First, these tokens are on a vesting schedule. This means they will remain locked and staked until the release dates listed in the chart above. These release dates stretch out until January 2028. Most are monthly unlocks meaning many of these tokens will be slowly released into the ecosystem. While it makes sense the FTX bankruptcy trustees will liquidate these tokens as they become available to repay debtors, Solana could have a solution (or several) to this scenario. A governance proposal submitted last week suggests the Solana Foundation could pursue the following options: The errant allocation is burned. Increase the lock to ten years on the errant allocation. Airdrop all SOL token holders' additional SOL except for the party holding the errant allocation. A combination of the above. Any of these solutions could provide price support for SOL tokens going forward while minimizing the impact of the tokens held by Alameda Research and FTX Trading. The Health of the Ecosystem Despite a sharp drop in fees and revenue over the past several weeks, the Solana ecosystem as a whole appears resilient. As we can see, both fees and revenues have leveled off and could be ready for a recovery as confidence in Solana is restored. Image via TokenTerminal According to the official Solana blog post, “Most of the largest DeFi projects on Solana had limited or no exposure to FTX based on a recent assessment by Solana Foundation. There are certainly projects with exposure to FTX, and those projects seem to be actively working to figure out a way forward, but the outcomes there are not yet known. The DeFi environment in 2022 has been challenging, but the ecosystem continues to evolve and innovate.” As we can see from the following tweet, Solana builders are still going strong and showing their support for the ecosystem. Image via Twitter Serum Moves Beyond SBF Serum is considered to be one of the foundations of the Solana DeFi system. However, it's also tightly tied to FTX as it was founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. Serum's mission is to bring the speed and convenience of centralized exchanges to DeFi while remaining fully trustless and transparent. It implements an on-chain central limit order book and matching engine, allowing it to share liquidity and offer powerful trading features to institutional and retail investors. Unfortunately, because of its connection with SBF, investors initially shied away from Serum as well. However, they may be getting past their hesitation, as Serum was recently forked in response to the hack that drained $477 million from FTX addresses just days after the company filed for bankruptcy protection. An admin for the FTX Telegram channel reported the hack soon after it occurred. The Serum devs made the decision to fork the dapp because the upgrade keys for Serum, which allow holders to modify its code, were held by an unknown person at FTX. It was assumed that the upgrade keys were also compromised as part of the hack, which would compromise the entire Serum protocol. Serum was the central order book on the back end of almost every non-AMM piece of the Solana DeFi ecosystem. Applications often leveraged Serum as their back-end DEX whether one was a game like Star Atlas, an aggregator like Jupiter, or a lending application posting liquidations like Solend. It was unthinkable to have so much of the Solana DeFi ecosystem potentially compromised, so a fork was necessary. It also served to dissociate Serum from anything linked to SBF and FTX. Image via alpha.openserum.io As we can see, much of the order book depth has returned post-fork, signaling the returning confidence in Solana as a blockchain. There’s now $230K in depth on the USDC side, up from $50K just after the fork. The Network Is Healthy Despite the FUD created by Solana’s association with FTX and Alameda research, the network itself is functioning well. Metrics show that transactions and unique fee payers on the network are recovering. Transactions are being rapidly processed, and there's no lasting impact to the functionality of the Solana network. Image via ChainCrunch However, data from Solscan shows the number of active wallets, which has already been falling in recent months, is now at the lowest level since August 2021. This past May saw the number of active wallets over 1.3 million. As the news about FTX broke, that number was down around 600,000 and is now below 375,000. That needs to turn around. Otherwise, many of the dapps within the Solana ecosystem will lack users and liquidity. One bit of good news is that Solana still has some great dapps. It has the popular move-to-earn dapp STEPN, the leading decentralized music sharing platform Audius, and the top decentralized wireless 5G protocol Helium will soon be moving to Solana. Solana also hosts a number of popular DeFi and lending protocols and an increasing number of blockchain games. It's becoming one of the top blockchains for NFTs, and it also has a strong community. In the short and medium term, the collapse of FTX is massively detrimental to Solana’s entire ecosystem, not just for Solana DeFi. As we can see, however, the network remains in good shape, and the community is still strong. Solana has recovered from a number of challenges over the past year, and the strength of the blockchain and its users should allow it to overcome this in time. There’s one final positive bit of news. Solana has often been criticized for being too centralized due to FTX’s involvement in so many aspects of its ecosystem. That claim will no longer be valid, and Solana is now free to prove it can become even better as a fully decentralized blockchain network. Time will tell, but this FTX implosion could prove to be just what Solana needed in the long run.
