Blockchain analysts from Nansen highlight $4.1 billion of FTT tokens being transfered from Alameda to FTX before the cryptocurrency exchange collapsed.
Blockchain data analysts from Nansen revisit the days leading up to the collapse of FTX, including the transfer of $4.1 billion worth of FTT tokens between the exchange and Alameda Research.
Nansen analysts revealed that they had observed dubious on-chain interactions between FTX and Alameda before these reports came to light. Between Sept. 28 and Nov. 1, Alameda sent $4.1 billion FTT tokens to FTX as well as a number of continuous transfers of a mix of US dollar stablecoins amounting to $388 million.
Given that the two companies controlled around 90% of the FTT token supply, Nansen suggests that the entities were able to prop up each other’s balance sheets. The collapse of the Terra/LUNA algorithmic stablecoin and subsequent bankruptcy of 3 Arrows Capital likely led to liquidity issues for Alameda due to the drop in value of FTT, which led to a covert, $4 billion FTT-backed loan from FTX.
