wallets of the collapsed crypto exchange FTX has transferred more than $19
million worth of assorted tokens to various crypto exchange addresses.

Cold storage refers to offline wallets that are not
connected to the internet. This stands in contrast to hot wallets, which are
held on crypto exchanges and are accessible online. Cold storage adds an extra
layer of security to the storage of digital assets.
In a separate report, blockchain analytics firm
Nansen disclosed a significant transfer of crypto assets worth $8.6 million
from FTX and Alameda Research. These funds, comprising Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE), Maker (MKR), and
ETH, found their way to a Binance address, raising concern about the motive
behind these transactions.
LINK, AAVE, MKR, and ETH on the Move
The assets transferred include $2.2 million in LINK, $1 million in AAVE, $2 million in MKR, and
$3.4 million in ETH. While clarifying that it doesn’t track off-chain transactions, Nansen speculated that these funds could have been moved for sale or to prepare them for sale.
FTX and Alameda funds are on the move! 🏃
– 2.2M USD LINK
– 1M USD AAVE
– 2M USD MKR
– 3.4M USD ETHThese funds moved to 0xde9 then 0xaee which is a Binance address
We don’t track offchain movements, but presumably, this is to either sell or to prepare to sell these funds pic.twitter.com/n6jfyghDmk

Over a week ago, FTX staked $150 million in crypto
assets, specifically Solana’s SOL and ETH. This move aimed to generate a return
for the investors who suffered losses following the collapse of FTX.
According to a recent report by Finance Magnates,
FTX staked over 5.5 million SOL, valued at $122 million, and more than 24,000
ETH, worth $30 million. The staked tokens are expected to yield an annual
return of 6.79%, potentially resulting in more than $8 million in SOL tokens.
On the other hand, the staking of ETH was conducted directly on the network,
promising an annual return of 3.4%.
