Episode notes
FTX $1.6B Could Move BTC Market
- The FTX Recovery Trust plans a $1.6B stablecoin distribution that could re-enter Bitcoin markets.
- If converted to Bitcoin, that sum equals ~14,000 BTC, roughly 30 days of supply, and could move price materially.
Repayments As Stablecoins Change Dynamics
- FTX repayments are being distributed as stablecoins, not direct Bitcoin, so selling behavior matters.
- Creditors could either exit to fiat or buy Bitcoin, creating asymmetric market outcomes depending on their choices.
Always Self-Custody Your Bitcoin
- Do not keep Bitcoin on exchanges because you risk total loss from exchange failures like FTX.
- Move funds to self-custody (mobile wallet or hardware wallet) and test a transfer to secure your holdings.
