This year sparked a fresh resurgence in the market heightened by renewed institutional demand following <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/crypto-community-divided-over-blackrocks-recent-bitcoin-etf-application.htm">BlackRock&rsquo;s ETF application</a>.&nbsp;However, BTC has slumped from its year's high of slightly over $31,000 and currently exchanges hands at $25,806 raising fresh concerns among bulls.With struggling market prices, observers fear that the upcoming FTX liquidations will have a significant impact on the prices of assets particularly DOGE, MATIC, and TRX.&nbsp;<h2 id="ftx-bankruptcy-proceeding-continues">FTX bankruptcy proceeding continues</h2>A new <a href="https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/FTX/Home-DownloadPDF?id1=MjUxODI3OA==&amp;id2=-1">court filing reveals</a> that bankrupt crypto exchange, FTX holds $7 billion in assets with the firm keen on concluding its proceeding and restructuring plans by Q2 2024.&nbsp;According to the filing, the assets range from digital assets, to venture investments, and recovered property. Solana, BTC, and ETH lead the pack in terms of FTX holdings crypto holdings which stand at $3.4 billion.&nbsp;The firm also holds $4.5 billion in 438 venture investments and<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/new-court-filing-ftx-holds-11-billion-sol-560-million-btc.htm"> 38 Bahamian properties</a> with a combined value of $200 million.&nbsp;It has also been disclosed that over 75 companies including cryptocurrency, financial and individual investors have shown interest in buying these assets.&nbsp;
