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 various 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.

A Spotonchain post on X, formerly Twitter, dated Oct. 31 shows a further $19.5 million in various tokens were deposited to Coinbase. Peckshield also reported movements on Oct. 31, saying the wallets were labeled as belonging to FTX or Alameda.

FTX's bankruptcy proceedings continue in Delaware while its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, faces a criminal fraud trial in New York.

Who is Paying for the $64 Billion Paper Profit Party?

Bitcoin fell below the crucial $60k support, hitting lows not seen since October 2024. The real concern isn't the price drop, but the corporate Bitcoin holders whose financial models are faltering. Companies like MicroStrategy (Strategy), with 847k BTC at an average cost of ~$75.6k, now face significant unrealized losses. Their stock prices trade at a steep discount to their Bitcoin holdings' net asset value. Others like Japan's Metaplanet and Solmate (formerly Brera Holdings) face even deeper losses. While immediate, price-triggered liquidations are unlikely due to unsecured debt structures, the core financial "flywheel" is stalling. The new ASU 2023-08 accounting rule, which books Bitcoin's quarterly price swings directly into profits/losses, amplified gains in the bull market but now creates massive paper losses, potentially triggering index fund exclusions and forced selling. MicroStrategy’s CEO even hinted at possibly selling Bitcoin to pay dividends, contradicting his "never sell" stance. The true liquidity test is scheduled for Fall 2027, when convertible bond holders may demand cash repayment. If Bitcoin stays below key cost bases, these companies could be forced to sell hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin into the market, creating a severe liquidity crisis. The risk has shifted from instant margin calls to a slow-burning countdown to a debt reckoning.

Base Halts for Two Hours: A Single Invalid Block Reveals the Centralized Reality of L2s

Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 Rollup, experienced a two-hour network outage starting around 00:03 UTC on June 26. The halt was caused by a consensus issue that led to an invalid block being sequenced, which prevented the generation of new blocks after block 47806542. The team identified the problem, restored block sequencing by 01:51 UTC, and confirmed full recovery of ecosystem infrastructure synchronization shortly after. This incident highlights the operational reality for many L2s: while they leverage Ethereum for security and data availability, their day-to-day usability heavily depends on their sequencer and internal systems. Base employs a high-availability sequencer system with one active leader, but this setup did not prevent the outage when a consensus-level problem arose. This follows a previous 33-minute outage in August 2025 related to a faulty sequencer handover process. The downtime occurred near the scheduled activation window for the "Beryl" network upgrade, which has since been postponed. Beryl introduces the native B20 token standard, among other improvements. The incident has sparked renewed discussion about Base potentially launching its own network token in the future, shifting the conversation from mere speculation to questions about how a token might relate to sequencer decentralization, governance, and accountability in such failure scenarios.

STRC Must Re-Anchor for a BTC Bull Market to Happen

Title: STRC's Depegging Threatens MicroStrategy's Bitcoin-Buying Machine, and Thus the BTC Bull Run Summary: The sustained depegging of MicroStrategy's priority share STRC (trading ~25% below its $100 target) is severely disrupting the company's core business model and poses a major risk to Bitcoin (BTC) price support. STRC was MicroStrategy's most efficient and low-cost funding tool, designed to allow continuous capital raises near its $100 par value to fuel relentless BTC accumulation. Its depegging has effectively blocked this primary funding channel. The situation creates a severe cash flow crisis. STRC and other priority shares now obligate MicroStrategy to pay approximately $1.7 billion in annual cash dividends, while the company's cash reserves are only about $1.4 billion — insufficient to cover one year of payments. To raise cash, MicroStrategy is increasingly resorting to issuing common stock (MSTR) through ATM offerings. However, recent raises show most proceeds (around 90% in one week) are now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of Bitcoin per MSTR share, eroding the fundamental value proposition for equity investors. The company faces grim alternatives: issuing high-cost debt or selling its massive Bitcoin holdings. The latter, though hinted at, would likely trigger significant negative market reactions. Conclusion: As BTC's largest corporate holder and a major marginal buyer, MicroStrategy's funding woes mean reduced, and potentially reversing, institutional buy-side pressure. The company has shifted from being a guaranteed source of BTC demand to a significant overhang on the market. The article argues that without STRC re-anchoring to restore its funding engine, a sustained BTC bull market is in jeopardy.

No Bull Market for BTC Without STRC Re-pegging

Summary: The sustained de-pegging of MicroStrategy's (MSTR) Strategy Preferred Shares (STRC) poses a severe threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and could prevent a bull market. STRC, designed to trade near a $100 target, has plunged to around $75, effectively shutting down MicroStrategy's cheapest and most efficient funding channel. This channel was critical for its "raise funds, buy BTC" business model. More critically, MicroStrategy now faces a massive cash outflow from these preferred shares. With approximately $10.49 billion of STRC outstanding at an 11.5% dividend yield, the annual cash obligation exceeds $1.2 billion. Combined with other preferred shares, the total annual payout nears $1.7 billion, depleting its current ~$1.4 billion cash reserve within a year. To address this, MicroStrategy is increasingly relying on common stock (MSTR) offerings via its ATM program. However, recent sales show most raised capital is now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy more Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of BTC per share for common stockholders, eroding the foundation of its premium valuation. If STRC cannot re-peg, this costly dilution may continue. Worse, if cash pressure intensifies, selling Bitcoin becomes a real risk. As the largest corporate BTC holder (~847,363 BTC), any significant sales could crash the market. Thus, MicroStrategy is transforming from BTC's most reliable institutional buyer into a major potential seller, casting a significant shadow over Bitcoin's price prospects.

Examining if STABLE’s uptrend is sustainable after its latest 5% price hike

STABLE has shown notable resilience and strength against a weak broader crypto market, recently surging over 5% to trade around $0.362 while defending key support at $0.33. Its bullish structure is supported by trading above key moving averages, a rising Stochastic Momentum Index, and a significant negative Spot Netflow indicating strong sustained demand, with daily outflows exceeding inflows. However, the uptrend faces sustainability concerns. A persistently negative Price DAA Divergence for seven consecutive days reveals weak network usage and low user engagement, signaling underlying structural weakness. This historically increases the risk of a price correction. While strong demand could propel STABLE to close above $0.36 and challenge the $0.40 resistance, failure to maintain momentum could trigger a pullback toward the $0.32 support level.
