As of October 28th, Lookonchain tallied $78.7 million in assets that were transferred out of the FTX bankruptcy estate, including the native coins of smart contract platforms Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH), decentralized oracle networks Chainlink (LINK) and Band Protocol (BAND), and multi-chain platform Polygon.

FTX also staked a massive amount of Solana. According to blockchain explorer SolanaFM, the address associated with FTX and its trading arm Alameda Research created a stake of 5,546,217.04 SOL tokens last month.
