This included about 195 million FTT, 1,938 ETH, and other coins that didn’t have much value. Information from the blockchain shows that this cryptocurrency is currently in a single digital wallet at Fireblocks.
FTX Debtors were instructed by the Bahamas Commission to transfer digital assets to a Fireblocks wallet. The value of the FTT at the time of transfer was approximately $296 million. There can be no assurances such a large amount of FTT could be sold at spot prices, or at all.
