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.

Preview of Warsh's Friday Speech: What Is the Market Focusing On?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is set to deliver his first Jackson Hole speech this Friday, a key event for markets to gauge his policy framework. The focus is on whether he will continue reducing forward guidance, thereby allowing markets to form their own rate expectations. Analyst Michael J. Kramer suggests a controversial interpretation: Warsh may tolerate a steeper yield curve, where rising long-term yields and bond volatility could tighten financial conditions without an immediate policy rate hike. This could occur through higher mortgage and corporate funding costs and lower equity valuations. Kramer points to the rising term premium on 10-year Treasuries, which, if reverting to pre-QE averages, could push yields above 5% alongside a higher assumed neutral rate. Concurrently, reduced forward guidance could structurally increase bond market volatility (as measured by the MOVE index), further tightening conditions. In this framework, long-end tightening could precede potential short-end rate cuts if it successfully cools demand and inflation. Risks include loss of Fed credibility and uncontrollable financial stress from excessive rate rises. Additionally, Japan's monetary policy normalization, with rising inflation expectations and short-term rate projections, may add upward pressure on global long-term yields. Friday's speech will be crucial for discerning whether Warsh views higher long-end yields as a usable policy tool or an uncontrolled market risk, and whether the "let the long-end do the tightening" narrative holds.

Darknet Leader Indicates Readiness to Cooperate as $44 Million Bitcoin Kidnapping Case Develops

Tomas Jiríkovský, the main suspect in a major Czech Republic cryptocurrency money laundering case, has indicated a potential willingness to cooperate with authorities. This follows a custody hearing at the Brno City Court where judge Ivana Otrubová ruled to keep him detained. Jiríkovský, a programmer linked to darknet activities and money laundering, had previously refused to speak with investigators. Prosecutors now state he has changed his position regarding darknet marketplace operations and criminal proceeds laundering. The court ordered his continued detention citing a flight risk and the likelihood he still controls some illicit crypto funds. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of up to 20 years and asset confiscation. Central to the scandal is Jiríkovský's controversial $44 million Bitcoin donation to the Czech Ministry of Justice, which he made in exchange for state assistance in unlocking a confiscated crypto wallet. Former Justice Minister Pavel Blažek accepted the donation, but investigators allege it was a scheme to legitimize illegal darknet proceeds. The fallout led to Blažek's resignation and criminal charges against several high-ranking officials for aiding money laundering and breach of duty. With tens of thousands of pages of evidence, the trial is expected to be lengthy as authorities work to uncover the full scale of the operation.
