📍 Signal Watch
🔥 Top Signal: FTX Payouts Begin — $5B in Fresh Fuel
BitGo & Kraken begin distributing FTX’s $5B in user refunds
🚨 One of the biggest liquidity events in recent memory — $5B in long-frozen capital is finally moving again.
While up to 60% of that may be going to hedge funds unlikely to reinvest in crypto, at least a couple billion is poised to re-enter the market — fast.
💡 Likely inflows into BTC, ETH, SOL, and other blue-chip majors as early claimants and retail funds reposition for the second half of 2025.
📊 A reminder: not all exit liquidity is bearish — some of it finds new conviction. 💸 Expect a sizeable shot of liquidity flowing back into the crypto ecosystem — especially into BTC and other blue-chip assets as claimants re-enter the market or reposition for Q3.
