The funds’ movement dates back to March when FTX and Alameda began recovering assets for investors. At the time, three wallets associated with FTX and Alameda Research moved $145 million worth of stablecoins to various platforms, including Coinbase, Binance and Kraken.
Of the total, $69.64 million in Tether
was moved to custodial wallets on crypto exchanges, while the remaining 75.94 million USD Coin
was transferred to a Coinbase custodial wallet.
Although the troubled cryptocurrency exchange has recovered more than $5 billion in cash and liquid cryptocurrencies, a further $3.8 billion in liabilities remain outstanding.
