Over $127 million flowing out raises questions regarding FTX and Alameda’s status amid unclear market conditions and cascading losses across crypto companies.
Continued monitoring of on-chain flows may reveal whether the exchange is simply rebalancing, shoring up reserves, or facing deeper issues impacting customer assets.
The collapse of FTX was one of the most catastrophic events in 2022. The ripple effect of the downfall affected the crypto industry as a whole, causing several businesses to collapse and crypto prices to fall.
