The report shared that, since early August, FTX’s sister company has transferred 1.56 million WLD tokens to Binance. The firm has sent around 143,770 WLD tokens, worth around $2.51 million, every week since August 9, selling the tokens in 10 batches at an average price of $1.6. The news came two days after US Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey approved FTX’s repayment plan. The approval allows the crypto exchange to pay customers between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion in recovered crypto assets. Alameda received around $8 billion of FTX users’ misappropriated funds, allegedly used for the fund’s trading operations. Some suggest that the sell-off is linked to FTX’s repayment plan, which is expected to start soon and could signify further selling pressure from the companies.

The wallet holds $98.8 million in other cryptocurrencies, including 100.9 million Stargate Finance (STG), 1.78 million Mantle (MNT), and 98.86 million BitDAO (BIT), now MNT.
