The Bitcoin price is languishing around $25,000, but <\/span>Bitcoin BSC<\/span><\/a> has other ideas as it blasts past $1 million in presale contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Bitcoin on BNB Smart Chain’ coin Bitcoin BSC ($BTCBSC) has received contributions of $1,088,549 as it hit its quarter milestone in less than a week and speeds toward its target total of $3,960,000, despite bearish ructions in the broader crypto market.<\/span><\/p>\n

News emerged last week that the bankruptcy court was likely to allow failed exchange FTX to sell down its crypto holdings to go some way toward making creditors whole again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the top coins under selling pressure are Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, as FTX looks to unload $200 million worth of crypto weekly. <\/span><\/p>\n

As of April this year, the new team at FTX had discovered $3.4 billion in crypto assets held by the bankrupt exchange allegedly run as a personal piggy bank by CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.<\/span><\/p>\n

FTX’s Bitcoin stash, valued at $263 million, is in the mix to be sold. It could be that FTX can line up several big over-the-counter deals that do not affect the price of the coins it is selling, which would devalue the holdings it wants to sell later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, it is unlikely that all the FTX sales, which are due to start as soon as this Wednesday, can be kept off the spot markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The harmful impact of the FTX collapse in November last year is yet to dissipate, but some areas of the crypto market remain unaffected and continue to thrive – Bitcoin BSC, take a bow.<\/span><\/p>\n
