Decentralized platform Abracadabra.money's , a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, dropped below $1 early Tuesday as crypto exchange FTX's native token FTT tanked.
- MIM briefly fell to as low as 95 cents during the early Asian hours, hitting the lowest since at least Terra's crash in May, according to data source CoinGecko.
- FTT is the largest collateral backing MIM, accounting for 33% of the total locked in Abracadabra's "cauldrons," according to the official Abracadabra's website.
- Cauldrons allow users to borrow MIM using another asset as collateral. Each cauldron is collateral specific.
- "FTT is the single largest collateral asset for MIM with total value locked now standing at $120 million. The liquidation price for FTT is $6.76 (-61% from current levels)," Lewis Harland, a portfolio manager at Decentral Park Capital told CoinDesk.
- FTT dropped below $22, an offer price suggested by FTX's sister concern and trading firm Alameda's CEO Caroline Ellison to Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao on Sunday. The token went on to hit a 21-month low of $15 on Alameda contagion fears.
- At press time, FTT was changing hands at $17.20 while MIM traded at around 99 cents.
- "FTT is the largest collateral asset for MIM, so FTT decline is not great news for Abracadabra," Pseudonymous DeFi researcher @DefiIgnas tweeted.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Ce qu'il:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
