All eyes on FTX as funds from multiple wallets begin flowing without an official announcement on a Friday night. The crypto community looks for answers in on-chain data.
The wallet owner was found swapping $26 million Tether to DAI via 1inclh while approving USDP — a Paxos-issued stablecoin — for trade on CoW Protocol. As the situation unfolds, the wallet also approved transfers and sales of other cryptocurrencies, including Chainlink , cUSDT and stETH.
The funds coming from FTX wallets were later moved to new addresses, out of which one of them was labeled as FTX on Etherscan, as pointed out by blockchain investigator PeckShield. A subsequent investigation alsothat 8,000 ETH was wormholed from Solana to one of the new addresses within the last hour.
The involvement of a hacker, at this time, seems unlikely as they typically would have moved funds from FTX’s wallet to their own wallets. However, many pointed out the possible involvement of an insider. Until the dust settles, the community continues to monitor the movement of funds. However, investors are advised to avoid speculations until confirmed reports set in. FTX has not yet responded to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.Adding to investor’s concerns, FTX sources told Reuters that between $1 billion and $2 billion of client money is unaccounted for in the company’s spreadsheet.
