Alameda Research just transferred 72.6 million BitDAO (BIT) tokens—around $64.4 million—to Mirana Ventures. Alameda also got 10.335 million USDC and 28.4 million USDT from Mirana around 20 hours back.
On-chain analysis platform PeckShield said the FTX liquidator also transferred 378,000 Raydium (RAY) tokens—around $1.99 million—to Binance. This could mean the liquidator is going to sell the tokens. BIT and RAY could both become volatile in the short term.

Alameda Research Holdings
