R.I.P Solana.One of the biggest phenomenol of 2021, Solana is now in a terrible place.
Predatory tokenomics, decreasing in TVL and activities, reduction in the number of quality dApps...
And now, the biggest backers of Solana , FTX and Alameda Research had gone rekt. It will become a dead chain, like Neo, Waves, Near, Avalanche, Terra....
Bounce back is easy when price hit $14-15$. Since its a deadcat bounce, we are not sure about the target. Maybe somewhere between $22-$26. But in the mid-long term future, $SOL must reach the low zone of $5-$8 to attract buyers and liquidity. Especially when new monolith blockchains such as Aptos and Sui are around the corner for the next bull run.
Good luck to $SOL holders
Active Price Suppression in Action1 Minute View
Alameda Research was trusted with 2.7 Billion REEF on March 8th, paying a 20% discount on what was already a fair price, on the grounds that the upcoming project would garner the support of FTX and the Alameda team. On that day, the monthly volume weighted average price was about $0.037035/REEF which means that they had an average position of approximately $0.029630/REEF. On March 15th, most if not all of their coins were dumped onto the market in what is most likely an attempt to bring the price below their original entry in order to not only profit, but to retake their original position or a more advantageous one.
In general, the volume weighted average price acts as a resistance line that flips the acceleration of the price movement into reverse. Institutional trading groups such as Citadel, Alameda, and pretty much any successful hedge fund will use this indicator with higher regard than others. In order to influence the confidence rating of a price movement, there must be significant volume behind the movement on the most active platform trading it and with 2.7 billion units of fuel they had no problem robbing the general population of traders with most, if not all of their holdings. The monthly VWAP was on the verge of rising to continue REEF's bull cycle and Alameda knew it. In order to prevent this, they suppressed the VWAP bounce; locking it into a short, downward cycle by manipulating the moving averages.
A strategic investor knows how to facilitate the growth of a coin's market cap and how to take profit at the same time with responsible dumping techniques. This was no nurturing investment and it is plain to see that it was all just a quick OTC cash grab by Alameda. Startups have also forced the facilitation of growth by enforcing a token unlock schedule to avoid complete and immediate rugs. While the REEF team's inexperience and naivete are definitely contributing factors to this mess, Alameda's malicious opportunism is ultimately why this happened. I don't think that the REEF team will be so careless as to let this happen to them again, but the scars on the charts are going to stay visible until they heal over time.
To any upcoming team of cryptocurrency engineers and innovators, I have to warn you. The only thing I learned about the whole $REEF fiasco is that doing business with #AlamedaResearch is a liability to your coin. Give them no special consideration and make them buy from #uniswap liquidity pools like everyone else. #boycottFTX
Disclaimer: I have a relatively small, long position in REEF that is 20% above Alameda Research's position. I was not aware of Alameda's interest at the time of purchase.
Alameda Research invests $20 M in REEF. Great news boys!After investing in travel app Maps .me and decentralized finance protocol Oxygen, Alameda Research will be putting $20 million into Reef Finance, the Polkadot-based DeFi platform.
According to Reef Finance, Alameda Research will be purchasing $20 million worth of the firm’s native tokens, REEF — roughly 528 million at the $0.03787 price. The investment will reportedly allow the two companies to collaborate on technology and strategy “in the near future.” Reef CEO Denko Mancheski added the additional funds would help the firm develop DeFi applications for the Reef blockchain.
The $20 million in Reef comes after a $40 million investment in Solana-based lending platform Oxygen and $50 million in Maps .me, a travel and mapping application with more than 140 million users worldwide. With Reef, Alameda said it was aiming for more cross-chain integrations with Serum and Raydium on Solana.
