Millions of dollars worth of crypto assets have been moved out of official wallets linked to FTX and its trading firm, Alameda, in the past 24 hours, according to Spotonchain, as the bankrupt exchange labors under court supervision to salvage value and maximize its token holdings.
More than $13 million worth of crypto tokens were moved to exchange platforms Binance and Coinbase from wallets linked to the two firms since midnight UTC, Spotonchain said. The tokens moved include [DYDX], [AAVE] and Axie Infinity’s [AXS].

The transfers follow a September court order that allows the bankruptcy estate to sell, stake and hedge crypto holdings worth over $3.4 billion. Last week, around $19 million in solana [SOL] and ether [ETH] were moved from wallets to crypto exchanges.

Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
