The wallet also holds $10 million worth of USD coin (USDC), almost $3 million of wrapped BTC (WBTC) and $4 million of ether (ETH), all of which have been consolidated from the same Alameda-linked wallets since Nov. 13, two days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. Alameda is a trading firm that was affiliated with FTX and that also filed for bankruptcy.
All held tokens are on the Arbitrum blockchain, a network Alameda has been active on since 2021 by providing liquidity to protocols like Sushi and Stargate Finance.
After airdropping its early users with 1.275 billion tokens, Arbitrum has a market capitalization of $1.6 billion as the token trades at $1.27, according to CoinMarketCap.
The FTX bankruptcy estate has been attempting to consolidate various tokens and investments in the past few weeks. It filed a motion on Wednesday that will see it recover $460 million, including $404 million in cash, from little-known Bahamian hedge fund Modulo Capital.
