Notably, Ethereum (ETH) tokens accounted for the largest share of the assets the bankrupt entities have recently moved for liquidation. Specifically, it transferred 1,000 units of ETH, valued at $2.3 million, to Coinbase. Similarly, FTX sent 4.43 million ALPHA tokens worth $411,000 to Binance.
Other cryptocurrencies, collectively valued at $609,000, moved for potential sell-offs, including Powerledger (POWR), Status (SNT), Orchid (OXT), iExec (RLC), Numeraire (NMR), and Nexo (NEXO).
Furthermore, the market tracker highlighted that FTX entities had transferred 21 crypto assets worth over $15.1 million to centralized exchanges between January 31 and February 6. The cumulative monetary value of the unloaded ETH tokens so far stands at $7.24 million, followed closely by Toncoin at $1.03 million.
This recent update has sparked concerns , particularly following FTX’s recent sell-offs, in which analysts suggested that it pushed Bitcoin’s price into the $38K region last month. The sell-offs concerned FTX’s liquidation of billions of dollars in Grayscale trusts.
Moreover, FTX has moved to sell its stake in Anthropic, an AI company valued at $18 billion. Considering FTX’s 7.84% stake in the company, this reflects a $1.4 billion value for potential liquidation.
