According to a source acquainted with FalconX, the wallet listed by Etherscan and Nansen as Alameda Research: Wallet actually belonged to FalconX.
The source, the first wallet, identified by blockchain analytics company Nansen as Alameda Counterparty: 0xe31, is a FalconX client unaffiliated with Alameda Research or FTX. In error, Alameda Research was given credit for sending a $17 million USD Coin (USDC) to one of FalconX’s wallets (0x600) by that wallet. The money was then transferred to another FalconX wallet from that one.After the bankruptcy filing, money had previously been moved out of Alameda or FTX wallets. In his affidavit, newly appointed FTX CEO John J Ray noted that $372 million in funds were removed from the company’s wallets in what the company claims were unauthorized transactions on the day FTX filed for bankruptcy. Ray stated in the court document that [there is] credible evidence that the Bahamian government is responsible for directing unlawful access to the Debtors’ systems in order to steal digital assets of the Debtorsu2014that took place after the initiation of these actions.After receiving a $150 million Series D round of funding from GIC and B Capital earlier this year, institutional cryptocurrency trading platform FalconX increased its valuation to $8 billion. The business raised $210 million in 2021. And so far, it appears that the company is largely unaffected by the collapse of FTX. Raghu Yariagadda, the CEO and co-founder of FalconX, stated on Twitter that FalconX has no exposure to Genesis, which has claimed to have $175 million in money stranded on FTX and has blocked withdrawals as a result of unprecedented market turbulence since yesterday.A multi-signature WalletSimple account has received $3.6 million worth of Game of Gods (GOG), Covalent Query Token (CQT), ETH, Render (REN), FTX Token (FTT), and Polygon (MATIC) tokens from Alameda over the previous few days, according to additional on-chain data. The multi-sig wallet, which was launched on the Ethereum network on November 12 and is titled as such because multiple users must approve transactions, has so far amassed $94.5 million. Alameda sent $89 million worth of cryptocurrency to the same wallet over the weekend.It will be quite interesting to see how this situation turns out to.
