So far, about $ 247 million worth of 9,500 WBTC tokens have been redeemed from Aave. After a series of transactions, all of these tokens were sent to the FTX exchange for unknown reasons.
In addition to WBTC, it seems that about $ 74.5 million worth of 54,749 ETH has been sent to FTX.
Such activity is a very bad sign for Celsius’ transparency until it explains the move, but the company has liquidated by replacing much of its volatile funds, such as WBTC and ETH, withdrawing from Aave with stablecoin. You may be trying to stabilize your sex.
Since June 12, Celsius has bet US $ 204 million on Stablecoin on Aave. We also deposited approximately 8.2 million DAI stablecoins in addition to US $ 10 million to another DeFi staking and lending platform, Compound.
A total of 222 million stablecoins re-bet by Celsius is about the same as the value of the WBTC token it deleted, but still does not match the total value of WBTC and ETH.
The plans for the Celsius team to use the moved crypto are not yet clear. The possibility of selling the assets sent to FTX is real, but another possible option is to bet the tokens sent to the exchange and earn a yield.
At the time of writing, Stablecoin was 9,500 WBTC, 54,749 ETH, 375,343 FTT, worth $ 10 million, 2,455 MATIC ($ 1,158), 260,000 UNI ($ 1 million), $ 2 million Pax dollars (USDP), and $ 300,000 TrueUSD (TUSD). I sent a table coin. To FTX. However, the token transfer was still done by 23:00 ET.
