Alameda Breached Commitment and Dumped BIT Tokens

The BitDAO community issued an emergency proposal on November 8 seeking Alameda Research to share the on-chain address of BIT tokens stored as part of the 3-year mutual commitment. The move came after Bybit co-founder Ben Zhou blamed Alameda for selling BitDAO (BIT) tokens.

Bitdao community is questioning the sudden dump of $bit token caused by Alameda dumping and breaching the 3 yr mutual no sale public commitment. Nothing is confirmed but bitdao community would like to confirm a proof of fund from Alameda.

Bybit’s exchange token BIT suddenly plummeted by 20% in an hour today. Alameda Research received 100 million BIT in 2021 and sent it to an FTX exchange address. Meanwhile, BitDAO community has 3,362,315 FTT tokens in the BitDAO Treasury. Both parties committed to not sell tokens within 3 years. If Alameda sold the tokens, they will receive only $30 million.

However, Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison replied that the firm was not behind the dump. She also promised to share the proof with Bybit co-founder Ben Zhou.

Lookonchain tweeted that on-chain data indicate Alameda transferred 4,637,839 BIT worth $1.6 million to FTX 3 hours ago. FTX wallet currently holds 97 million BIT in the FTX hot wallet, which is less than the 100 million committed by Alameda Research.
