These comprise a $3.4 billion crypto portfolio which includes roughly $1.2 billion in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/tag\/solana-sol\/\">Solana<\/a> (SOL) tokens. These SOL tokens turned out to be FTX\u2019s largest crypto holding and many crypto community members have been wondering what would become of the digital asset in the case of a broad selloff.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the filing highlighted that the crypto firm holds an additional $560 million in Bitcoin (BTC) and $192 million in Ethereum (ETH).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Former FTX Executives Owns Massive Real Estate Assets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition, FTX owns 38 properties in the Bahamas which were all <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-crypto-real-estate\/\">appraised<\/a> at $199 million.
