Usually, FTT reacts with a significant price change to FTX’s actions. This time, FTT probably reacted with growth to the news that <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/">FTX</a> sold shares of the spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) ETF to <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Grayscale/">Grayscale</a> Investments for about $1 billion. According to available information, since the launch of the crypto investment fund in January 2024, the firm has sold 22.3 million <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/GBTC/">GBTC</a>. This sale is likely part of bankruptcy proceedings. 
The pressure on the rate of the first cryptocurrency may now presumably ease. Exchange sales also explain significant outflows from Grayscale. 
A similar situation occurred in January when FTT responded with a <a href="https://crypto.news/ftt-jumps-24-on-former-ftx-customer-complaints/">rise</a> of more than 24% after crypto exchange users filed complaints over its indemnity plan. 
FTT also rose nearly 30% in December 2023 as FTX <a href="https://crypto.news/ftx-and-bahamian-liquidators-agree-on-creditor-payout-plan/">announced</a> it had reached a joint bankruptcy agreement with its Bahamian subsidiary, which was undergoing a separate process.
