A Wallet Tied to FTX Moves $10 Million in Alternative Cryptocurrencies Amid Ongoing Bankruptcy Proceedings

A digital wallet associated with the FTX cryptocurrency exchange has executed a $10 million transfer of assets from Solana to Ethereum, igniting fears about its impact on the market.

In light of its serious financial issues, FTX has laid out a bankruptcy plan contemplating token sales that could reach $100 million every week, a strategy that risks creating further chaos in the market and increasing asset liquidation.

The cryptocurrency community has been shaken by FTX’s recent asset transfers, which have led to suspicions about possible fraud and mishandling of customer funds. The $10 million move from Solana to Ethereum has amplified these worries, leaving many investors on edge about forthcoming token sales.

Back in April, the company revealed it had managed to recover around $7.3 billion in assets, with a notable $4.8 billion of that coming back by November 2022. By April 12, the exchange had amassed $4.3 billion in crypto assets available for stakeholder restitution.

BREAKING: Since August 31, an FTX-affiliated wallet has moved about $10 million in tokens associated with projects in the Solana ecosystem through the Wormhole bridge to another wallet within FTX, according to data from Arkham Intelligence.
