FTX Hacker Set To Discredit Ethereum (ETH) Holdings

​ 

FTX Hacker News – In what could be another blow to the crypto community, a FTX hacker just moved 195,000 Ethereum out of his wallet. This could indicate that the hacker will convert the ETH transferred into Bitcoin (BTC). According to the latest Etherscan reports a hacker transferred Ethereum in multiple batches of 15,000ETH. This led to a further drop of Ethereum (ETH) prices, which dropped by around 7% in the last week.
According to CoinMarketCap, the ETH price is at $1,117 as of writing. This is a decrease of 4.89% over the last 24 hours. Recent transactions on chain show that the FTX drainer transferred 15,000 ETH at 12 different addresses. The total value of assets is around $200 million.

The FTX blackhat transferred 15k ETH from one address to another, totaling $200M. He will likely convert the ETH to renBTC, and then gradually exit to the BTC mainnet. Selling didn’t start yet but will take some time though as liquidity will need to be reloaded pic.twitter.com/h88BDNX9Hw
