SOL is up nearly 15% in the past 24 hours.

Investors will have the option to purchase SOL at a substantial discount — either 39% below the 30-day average price or $59.95 — with an agreed vesting period of up to four years. Such a deal would allow FTX liquidators to free up funds for creditors without putting pressure on the token’s price.

According to marketing documents seen by Bloomberg, the FTX estate holds 41.1 million SOL – currently worth over $6 billion. SOL has rallied roughly five-fold since FTX collapsed in November 2022.
