GMT transferred to Wintermute
Wintermute received significant assets by entering the platform with 10 million GMT (approximately $2.62 million) and 800,000 WOO (approximately $180,000). Galaxy Digital also received a smaller transfer of 100,000 BAL (approximately $390,000). GSR received 2.24 million LOOKS, equivalent to approximately $260,000. As the crypto community digests this latest development, questions continue to surface regarding the motivations behind these transfers and the potential impact on the relevant platforms.
FTX and Alameda were also on the move yesterday
Meanwhile, yesterday, on-chain analysis platform Spot On Chain reported FTX’s previous transactions. Amid ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, FTX and Alameda made strategic transfers on December 1, sending millions of dollars worth of altcoins to leading cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and market maker Wintermute. These transactions, totaling billions of dollars, represent a significant step in their commitment to repay creditors and address the fallout from last year’s bankruptcy.
In addition to the transfers in question, 5.25 million Synapse (SYN), 8.76 million Klaytn, Fantom and SHIB transfers are on the agenda. Notably, the same wallets involved in these significant transfers also conducted small test transfers for altcoins such as AUDIO, WOO, and LOOK. Industry experts now think that these test transfers may precede larger sales of these three altcoins in the near future. Wallets currently holding $1.5 billion worth of altcoins remain under scrutiny as the crypto community closely monitors their actions.
