According to ME News, on August 7 (UTC+8), Solana perpetual trading platform Flash Trade announced that, if a suitable acquirer cannot be found, the protocol will gradually cease operations. The team stated that this decision was not driven by financial constraints, but rather by a comprehensive assessment of shifting market directions, declining market participation, and the team’s evaluation of the future trajectory of the cryptocurrency industry, alongside a strategic divergence in exchange operating philosophy from current industry trends. Flash Trade noted that, due to the inability to freeze the AMM and proportionally return funds to FAF token holders, the team is currently seeking to sell its technology stack, brand, and intellectual property. Proceeds from the sale will be distributed proportionally to FAF holders, with no share allocated to the team or team tokens. Additionally, the team has eliminated the three-month lock-up period for token staking, allowing holders to unstake immediately. Withdrawal functionality will remain open. The team will host an AMA on August 11 at 00:00 UTC to address holders’ questions regarding the sale process and distribution plan. (Source: Foresight News)
