Neutral
Dis tin dey broadly neutral for crypto prices becos e dey reduce di FTX overhang, we fit improve confidence and liquidity, but di effect go be gradual no be instant. Di $2.2B wey dem dey pay FTX creditors na just di initial tranche, and later distributions go depend on asset sales, clawbacks, and settlements. Short-term volatility risk still dey if di people wey receive am mainly sell di returned funds. For di long term, smoother claim settlement and higher recovery certainty fit support di market, but di announcement by itself no directly create new catalyst for demand for specific tokens.
