Mysterious outflow of tokens. What happened at FTX yesterday?
Failed digital asset exchange FTX has suffered a mysterious token outflow worth about $662 million over the past 24 hours, in the latest twist in one of the darkest periods for the crypto industry, according to Bloomberg.

Clients still recovering from Friday's plunge into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on the platform subsequently encountered what the company's US general counsel, Ryan Miller, called "wallet movement anomalies."

Miller said that FTX is accelerating the process of moving digital assets to cold storage that is not connected to the Internet "to reduce the damage when unauthorized transactions are detected."

According to the analytical company Nansen, the coins leaked from the international and American exchanges FTX. Paolo Ardoino, CTO of stablecoin issuer Tether, referred to a tweet that more than $30 million belonging to "attacking FTX" had been blacklisted.

The recent events have been another blow to the cryptocurrency sector, which is experiencing a year-long decline, as well as the collapse of the FTX exchange and sister trading house Alameda Research. If the outflow of funds is an exploit, then the year can be considered a record for the number of attacks on the digital token industry.

According to Nansen, during the incident, the main wallet owned by FTX was drained of the entire balance in FTT. FTT coins are native to the exchange. The overall outflow from FTX eventually petered out, Nansen said.

The bankruptcy of FTX completed the downfall of one of the richest crypto magnates. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating how closely his businesses were intertwined and whether FTX misused client funds.

Twitter was rife with protests, apparently from disgruntled customers. They referred to a Telegram chat warning that FTX had been hacked and that some client accounts had been emptied. But these claims have not been verified.

Over the past year, the main financial regulator of the United States – the Federal Reserve (Fed) – increased the base interest rate in the country by 225 points. This will bring down the rate of bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrencies, but in 5-10 years they will grow again. Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg, said this on the air of the Kitco News channel. Meanwhile, according to the largest European crypto exchange WhiteBit, on September 19, the value of BTC updated an almost three-month low, but has since risen to $19.2 thousand per coin. "I think everything will be even worse than the 2008 correction and the Great Financial Crisis. The Fed has started easing (the base interest rate. – Ed.) in 2007, and then added massive liquidity. They can't do it anymore," McGlone said. With the adoption of cryptocurrency technologies in the world, the exchange rate of bitcoin and Ethereum will set new records. But this will happen only after a significant correct

The US is considering a bill requiring crypto miners to report CO2 emissions, writes yahoo!finance. U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey and Representative Jared Huffman have introduced a draft crypto-asset environmental transparency bill that would require crypto mining operations that consume more than 5 megawatts of energy, which is the majority of bitcoin mining projects, to report carbon emissions. Senator Jeff Merkley co-sponsored the proposed legislation. The lawmakers said bitcoin miners use up to 1.4% of the electricity in the US, citing an August report from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy that said that was equivalent to the power needed to light every home in the country. The bill also directs the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct an interagency study of the impact of cryptocurrency mining on the environment. Cryptocurrency miners responded to criticism of fossil fuel use in an October report released by the Bitcoin Mining Council (BMC) lobbying gr

BTC The crisis of the FTX trading platform has set off a chain reaction that will lead to a further fall in the cryptocurrency market. The collapse of Solana (SOL) by 34% per day is only the first major step. The Terra ecosystem, which collapsed in May, is a small player compared to FTX. The fear and greed index in the digital asset market stopped at 21, which may seem low. But this is not an extreme fear — historically, Bitcoin has stalled or bounced below 10. The chart below shows the fixing of the first cryptocurrency under the level of $18,400. Overnight, the price managed to return to the range of $18,400–20,400. On the eight-hour timeframe, the bears are showing high aggression without signs of a possible rebound. conclusionsThe cryptocurrency market has broken through summer lows. At the time of writing, it shows no signs of rebounding anytime soon. A flat trend is possible within a few days, but the main forecast is a further decline.
