Biggest Movers: SOL, ADA Plunge, As Market Momentum Turns Bearish

10 Feb 2023

Following the recent court filing from liquidators for Three Arrows Capital (3AC) claiming frustration with the 3AC co-founders for allegedly failing to respond to subpoenas sent via Twitter. Su Zhu, one of the co-founders, recently tweeted about his new crypto venture, Open Exchange. The exchange aims to provide users with the ability to trade or use portfolio margin with claims against bankrupt cryptocurrency firms.

Su Zhu, co-founder of the defunct crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), stated on Thursday that June-July 2022 was a “total darkness” for him and his partner, Kyle Davies. “It was a dark period, and we were not perfect in how we handled the fallout, but we were determined to do all we could,” Zhu tweeted.

He went on to emphasize that “words and liquidations can only go so far,” and the duo wants to build something that “takes all the pain, lessons, and uses it to advance crypto.”

“It is with humility that we announce the claims waitlist is now open, with site UI/UX beta testing coming very soon [at] opnx.com,” Zhu added. The news of Zhu and Davies starting a new venture with two executives from Coinflex exchange was reported in mid-January 2023.

The exchange plans to allow traders to trade a bankruptcy claim from a defunct crypto platform and hold it as portfolio margin. Currently, the exchange is not operational and has a waitlist. Zhu further noted that “FLEX will be the primary token of the new exchange.”

The website displays logos of failed platforms such as Genesis, Celsius, FTX, Blockfi, Voyager, Hodlnaut, Mt Gox, Vauld, and Zipmex, as well as the 3AC logo. The website’s manifesto states that a “$20 billion market of claimants is desperately seeking a solution.”

Zhu’s announcement was not well received on social media, as some members of the crypto community expressed disgust. “Yeah, you lost all rights to work in this industry again,” wrote Magdalena Gronowska. “Instead of launching new scams, you should focus on talking to your lawyers,” she added. “Shut the hell up loser,” responded Nic Carter to Zhu’s tweet.

Solana slipped to a three-week low on Feb.10, as momentum in cryptocurrency markets remained firmly bearish. At the time of writing this, the global market cap is trading 4.23% lower, with bears recapturing sentiment. Cardano was also on the decline, falling by as much as 8% today.

Solana (SOL) prices plunged during today’s session, which comes as bears have seemingly recaptured market sentiment.

Following a high of $22.90 on Thursday, SOL/USD moved to an intraday low at $20.20 earlier in the session.

This drop resulted in the token hitting its lowest point since January 19, when solana last collided with a floor at $20.00.

Since hitting a peak of 87.67 on the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) back on January 13, price strength has consistently declined.

As a result of this, the index is now tracking at 44.21, which is its weakest point since January 2 when SOL was under $10.00.

Ultimately, this has its positives, as longer-term bulls may see this as a sign that prices are gradually moving in the right direction.

Cardano (ADA) extended its own recent sell-off on Friday, with prices falling for a third straight session.

ADA/USD dropped to an intraday low of $0.3558 earlier today, which comes after prices peaked at $0.3896 on Thursday.

As a result of this drop, ADA slipped to its weakest point since January 25, breaking out of a floor at $0.3590 in the process.

Since falling from this point of support, ADA has somewhat rallied, with bulls moving to buy the dip in price.

This took place as the RSI leveled out at a floor of 46.70, with cardano currently at $0.3611.

If this floor on the indicator continues to hold firm, there could be a rally over the week, with bulls re-entering the market.
