Alameda sends stablecoin to FTX
In parallel, FTX’s sister company Alameda was seen sending stablecoins to FTX. After getting deposits from Circle, he deposited them in FTX. More than $257 million was sent. The account named “The Data Nerd” pointed out that the stablecoin exit on FTX hosted the largest processes amid all exchanges last week. He revealed that it likely points to FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) shots from market participants. If transfers from Alameda were excluded from the equation, the picture would be “much uglier” than the thesis.
Meanwhile, the stablecoin outflow from FTX is the largest among all exchanges in the last 7D.
Down -$300M to a balance of $261M, excluding FTX US.
If we exclude the inflow from Alameda, I am sure the number would get much uglier. pic.twitter.com/1Jm4wstgcD

Jump constantly deposits and withdraws on exchanges, their activity is actually pretty standard

3) We've already processed billions of dollars of deposits/withdrawals today; we'll keep going. (Taking up anti-spam checks to process more–sorry if you got those. We're hitting node rate capacity, will keep going.) Also tons of USD <> stablecoin conversions going on.
