The report also mentions that an additional 1.6 million SOL tokens worth $57.6 million have initiated the unstaking process. Though not yet withdrawn from the wallet, their potential movement would increase the total SOL tokens moved by FTX to nearly $90 million.
Furthermore, considering the unstaking of SOL and the assets transferred by FTX to Coinbase and Binance, the total value of FTX's moved funds now reaches $156 million.
Noteworthy Transfers Involving LINK, AAVE, and MKR
Nansen's earlier investigation exposed significant transfers from wallets associated with FTX and its trading arm, Alameda Research.
Funds were withdrawn from these wallets, sent to intermediary wallets, and eventually deposited into Binance and Coinbase. The notable movements include:
- 2.2 million USD worth of Chainlink (LINK) tokens
- 1 million USD worth of Aave (AAVE) tokens
- 2 million USD worth of MKR tokens
- 3.4 million USD worth of ETH tokens
Additionally, Nansen discovered the movement of 943,000 SOL tokens, approximately valued at $32 million, from the FTX Cold Storage wallet.
These recent findings by Nansen regarding the fund movements associated with the struggling crypto exchange FTX have raised concerns within the cryptocurrency community. The report highlights significant transfers of various digital assets, including ETH and SOL, providing insight into the scale of FTX's asset movements.
FTX Native Token Status
In the current market scenario, FTX's native token, FTT, is trading at $1.23. Although it briefly exceeded $1,360 on October 23, a subsequent decline has been consistent. Nevertheless, over the past 30 days, FTT has maintained a 3.7% profit margin, indicating relative stability within this timeframe.
