The funds’ movement dates back to March, when FTX and Alameda began the process of recovering assets for investors. At the time, three wallets associated with FTX and Alameda Research moved $145 million worth of stablecoins to various platforms, including Coinbase, Binance and Kraken.

Out of the lot, $69.64 million in Tether (USDT) was moved to custodial wallets on crypto exchanges, while the remaining 75.94 million USD Coin (USDC) was transferred to a Coinbase custodial wallet.

While the troubled cryptocurrency exchange had recovered over $5 billion in cash and liquid cryptocurrencies at the time, its total liabilities exceeded $8.8 billion.
