Ethereum (ETH) has also broken its $1,500 support and has since resumed a downtrend in its prices. The token is currently valued at $1,320, down by over 17.5% within the last 24 hours.

Similarly, Solana (SOL) experienced a decline of roughly 25% and is priced at $23.88.

The FTX Token (FTT) has emerged as one of the worst-hit coins following this deal. FTT was trading above the $20 mark before Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, announced his plans to sell off $529M worth of FTT assets. The token hit $3.15 a few hours after the crypto exchanges agreed that Binance will fully acquire FTX. Presently, FTT hinges at the $5.3 mark, with over 75% drop in its price over the past day.
