Solana, Ethereum, and Aptos emerge as the foremost altcoin holdings of the beleaguered FTX exchange. In another development, shares of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers witnessed a dip. This slump was catalysed by the European Commission initiating a probe into the subsidies provided to these manufacturers, thereby intensifying EU-China tensions.
