Prior to the movement of $13.1 million in funds on Nov. 1, crypto analytic firm Nansen flagged several FTX-linked wallet movements over the past week, which saw the deposit of millions in various cryptocurrencies on different crypto exchanges. First, a batch of $8.1 million worth of altcoins was moved to Binance; Nansen estimated that another $24.3 million worth of assets that have left wallets linked to FTX and Alameda were deposited into Binance and Coinbase.

On Oct. 31, FTX linked 1.6 million Solana’s SOL (SOL) tokens worth $56 million that were unstaked and sent to an unknown wallet. Another 930,000 SOL worth $32 million linked to FTX and Alameda were moved to another unknown wallet speculated to be linked to Galaxy Digital, the official firm designated for the liquidation process.

Data aggregated by Spotonchain suggests a total of $78 million worth of assets have been sent to crypto exchanges from FTX and Alameda wallets over the past week.

FTX-linked wallets have continued to send their stash of altcoins to crypto exchanges over the past month after a court-ordered phased liquidation process. The court order permits FTX to sell digital assets worth over $3 billion through an investment adviser in weekly batches in accordance with the pre-established rule.

The phased-out liquidation process will allow FTX to sell $50 million worth of assets weekly, followed by a $100-million cap in the succeeding weeks. The cap can be increased up to $200 million per week with the previous written consent of the creditors’ committee and ad hoc committee after court approval.
