Timeline of Solana, Usd-coin, Tether

Solana (SOL) was one of the hardest hit blockchains by the FTX collapse. Even now, more than a week after the initial bankruptcy, SOL continues to buckle under the weight of uncertainty left among its users and investors given Sam Bankman-Fried's (SBF) heavy involvement in the Solana blockchain.

On Thursday morning, the world's biggest exchange, Binance, announced that deposits of USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT) on the Solana blockchain “have been temporarily suspended until further notice,” causing the SOL token to test a low of $12.45. The move comes right after OKX, another crypto exchange,  announced that it will delist USDC and The post Just-In: Binance Resumes USDT (SOL) Shortly After De-listing From Platform appeared first on CoinGape.

The announcement from the largest crypto exchange by trading volume comes after rival OKX announced it will delist both USDC and USDT on Solana. The post Binance halts Solana-based USDC and USDT deposits, in line with rivals appeared first on The Block.

Tether, the issuer of the major stablecoin USDT, denied having exposure to either Genesis Global Capital or Gemini Earn. Some, however, wonder how it is possible for such a large company not to be affected by any of the massive events that shook the crypto space this year.

While some of the platforms who denied earlier have admitted to their platform's exposure to the FTX crisis.
