Figure CEO Mike Cagney claimed in a Saturday X post that the FTX estate is preparing to auction the next batch of its highly anticipated locked Solana tokens.

The locked collection of Solana coins has attracted significant interest from potential buyers due to the rise in SOL prices.
Cagney indicated that further information regarding the auction is expected to be released later this week.
Crypto Exchange Creditors Discontent With Estate Management
Although the process is led by experienced asset recovery attorney John J. Ray III, not all creditors of FTX are satisfied with the management of the troubled crypto exchange’s estate.
Former customer and current advocate for FTX victims Sunil Kavuri has criticized the law firm Sullivan and Cromwell for what he perceives as an inequitable distribution of former customers’ digital assets.
“S&C are insistent on selling locked Solana to FTX creditors at a substantial discount to their own clients (Galaxy), despite our protests,” Kavuri stated in an April 21 X post.
The announcement of the FTX estate’s upcoming auction follows the recent sale of over $2.6 billion worth of discounted Solana tokens to several prominent figures in the crypto sector, including Galaxy Digital.

Critics of the FTX estate’s management allege mismanagement, noting that Sullivan and Cromwell had previously acted as advisors to crypto firm Galaxy Digital.
Kavuri asserts that Cagney has reportedly created “a framework to enable retail FTX creditors to take part” in the auction with a minimum investment of $5,000.
“It’s unjust for FTX to sell our assets,” Kavuri remarked. “Any value that S&C and their co-conspirators have diminished for FTX creditors, they are being sued for through our class actions.”
SBF To Resolve With Victims
The forthcoming Solana auction occurs just days after Kavuri revealed that attorneys representing the victims of the crypto exchange involved in a class action lawsuit have reached a settlement with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

Describing the settlement as “a significant victory for FTX victims,” the latest legal development involving the crypto exchange’s estate will require Bankman-Fried to disclose information regarding a wide array of high-profile individuals and entities previously connected with FTX, including Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin O’Leary, and Tom Brady.
“John Ray/FTX debtors have declined to provide information and have obstructed our class action efforts,” Kavuri stated. “Sullivan and Cromwell is also a defendant.”
At the time of publication, Solana was valued at $153.33, reflecting a 601.50% increase this year alone.
