The collapse of the FTX crypto exchange is one of the biggest shocks to hit the industry. The impact of the fall is spreading to different crypto assets and several investors on the exchange. The crypto market has been experiencing massive downward performance as prices of assets kept declining. Hence, the overall value is far below expectations, creating more fears and doubts in crypto. Related Reading: Bitcoin Cash On Downward Motion Since Breaching $105 Level – Here’s Why Following the unfolding events and crisis, the CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), filed for bankruptcy for the distressed FTX exchange. He also resigned from his position as CEO. On the part of FTX investors, the story is getting more intense. Several venture investors and individuals have started counting the losses following the bankruptcy filing. Also, the contagion from the collapse of the exchange is still spreading. One such recipient of the negative effect is Multicoin Capital. Multicoin Capital Exposure To FTX Crypto Exchange In the new development, a crypto venture company, Multicoin Capital, has disclosed its exposure to FTX. On Thursday, the firm reported how the fund plummeted by a whopping 55% over last month. It revealed to its investors that the drop in performance was due to the collapse of FTX. The events surrounding FTX gave a huge blow to Multicoin. In July, the firm launched its $430 million fund. As the FTX saga was unwinding last week, the crypto venture firm recovered just one-quarter of its assets from the exchange. But, about 15% of its total assets are still trapped on FTX. Currently, Multicoin Capital plans to write down its assets on the distressed FTX to zero. It noted that it’s the only sensible action to take as the exchange is already immersed in its bankruptcy proceedings. However, it still believed that it would recover some of its assets from the collapsed exchange in the future. At the moment, the crypto venture giant didn’t state the amount it’s writing off regarding the FTX crisis. But some crypto market experts think the value would be more than $850 million. The managing partners of Multicoin, Kyle Samani and Tushar Jain, reacted to the situation in the post. They wrote that they over-trusted their relationship with FTX, which made them lay many assets on the exchange. Multicoin Capital Now Resorts To A Majorly Self-Custodian Before now, Multicoin Capital distributed all its assets across the three leading crypto exchanges; Binance, Coinbase, and FTX. Following the collapse of FTX, the venture firm moved all its remaining assets to either self-custody or Coinbase. Multicoin stated that it currently has no assets exposed to any counterparties. However, it plans to diversify its custodial exposure picking Coinbase as its primary custodian. It noted that it would resume trading with other exchanges once the situation in the market becomes calm.

As the market declined last week (and continues to do so), Litecoin was one of the few currencies to increase in value. CoinGecko reports that the price of a single Litecoin is at $63.69 at the moment. The token is up 8% in the last 24 hours, giving traders and investors some sense of relief. Litecoin (LTC) thus pulled off a surprise, edging out the other cryptos in the top 20 list. The alternative cryptocurrency that has been around for a while appears to be gaining popularity among investors. Only 35% of LTC holders are profitable, per CoinMarketCap. The percentage of holders who would benefit monetarily from a sale at the current time is thus reduced. While this rebound is encouraging, the current state of the market following the contagion that was FTX means that LTC may not be able to avoid more market declines despite the uptick. Related Reading: NEAR Faces Resistance In Attempt To Breach $2 Level As Bears Block Its Way Outlook For Litecoin Looks Favorable As things stand, the market environment is very unfriendly for bulls. Despite the market decline, a few cryptocurrencies have managed to rise into the top 20. The relative strength index (RSI) for LTC is rapidly approaching the oversold zone, indicating a sharp reversal from a bullish to a negative trend. At its present level of $63.69, the price is still above the 38.20 percent Fibonacci retracement zone. Chart: TradingView On a 4-hour timeframe, however, RSI values are increasing, indicating a growing bullish momentum. The current level of support is $61.81, which is a quite significant level of support given the present market conditions. Currently, the market structure resembles a bullish descending triangle, with a likely bullish breakout around the $64.15 price level. In addition to supporting a likely positive breakout, the expanding Bollinger band indicates volatility in the coming weeks. As the bulls retest the $64.15 price resistance in the coming weeks, they should observe the market environment. Long-term LTC investors appear to be selling, while long positions on LTC exceed short positions, according to CoinGlass. With massive short liquidations occurring in LTC over the previous few days, this change in momentum is in stark contrast to present market conditions. What To Anticipate With LTC LTC appears to be moving against the market, diminishing or losing its link with BTC and ETH. As the scenario for Litecoin improves, bulls must be cognizant of the current unfavorable market conditions. Defending the $61.31 support is sufficient to maintain LTC’s bullish momentum if it cannot breach the $64.15 resistance.

TRON, the native cryptocurrency of the blockchain network bearing the same name, continues to struggle as it fails to break free from its bearish momentum. According to tracking from Coingecko, the 16th largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization is trading at $0.050 at the time of this writing. For the past seven days, the altcoin has dropped by almost 10% while over the last two weeks its value has declined by 20.2%. On a month-to-date gauge, the digital asset has dumped 17.8% of its spot trading price, painting its entire chart in crimson. However, while TRON remains unsuccessful in initiating a bullish run to reclaim higher trading session prices, its network is performing relatively well as the protocol was able to post impressive numbers last week. Related Reading: Bitcoin Cash On Downward Motion Since Breaching $105 Level – Here’s Why TRON Network Activity Remains Upbeat Amid FTX Crisis TRON DAO, the official Twitter account of the blockchain network shared some of the highlights of the protocol’s performance for the period of November 7 to November 13. At the conclusion of the specific timeframe, the total number of accounts associated to the blockchain reached 119,949,499 while the overall tally for transactions facilitated over it hit the 4.19 billion mark. TRON’s blockchain height surpassed the 45.83 million and its Total Value Locked (TVL) peaked at $12.3 billion. It is important to note that this impressive growth in both network activity and value happened during the same week when the crypto space was ravaged by the negative effects of the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange platform. Following Binance CEO Changpeng Zao’s decision to back out of initial plans to buy the exchange after the announcement of selling all of its FTT tokens, the crypto market was instantly painted in red as Bitcoin, Etheruem and the rest of the altcoins experienced severe price dumps. TRON Founder Gives His Take On The Future Of NFTs During a recent interview, Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, expressed his ideas about the current situation of the non-fungible token (NFT) industry. According to Sun, sadly, the current generation of NFT tokens doesn’t offer much in terms of utility and that this is something that needs to be addressed if this particular digital asset class hopes to grow exponentially in the near future. He emphasized his point by saying that during this important segment of Web3 development, these customizable tokens will be the focal point of many advancements and projects. For its part, TRON seems to be doing well in this department as its NFT ecosystem also managed to record an uptick in terms of trade count and trade volume.
