Crypto wallets linked to the Alameda Research bankruptcy estate were observed unstaking 201,741 Solana (SOL) tokens worth approximately $15.27 million on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
According to on-chain monitoring data from Arkham Intelligence, the staking position, which was initially established five years ago, recorded a substantial increase in value amid the growth of the Solana ecosystem and the accumulation of staking rewards.
More specifically, the wallet’s original allocation five years ago consisted of 164,384 SOL, valued at approximately $351,960 at the time. Over the five-year staking period, the position generated an additional 37,357 SOL in staking rewards, currently worth around $2.83 million.
Combined with SOL’s significant price appreciation over the period, the total value of the position increased several dozen times, reaching approximately $15.27 million.
Around 10 hours after the unstaking process was completed, wallets associated with FTX/Alameda Research transferred the entire balance of approximately 201,780 SOL, worth roughly $15.2 million, to multiple BitGo custodial wallet addresses.
The funds were split across more than a dozen BitGo Custody addresses, potentially indicating an asset consolidation process ahead of a possible over-the-counter (OTC) sale as part of the bankruptcy estate’s asset liquidation process. #solana $BTC $SOL

Quantitative trading giant Jane Street disclosed holdings of more than $1 billion in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs as of June 30, 2026, with the largest portion allocated to BlackRock’s product.
Approximately $828 million of the portfolio was held in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The remainder was spread across several other Bitcoin ETFs, including the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).
Despite the substantial value of these holdings, this does not mean that Jane Street directly owns Bitcoin. The firm’s positions are held in the form of Bitcoin ETF shares, which provide exposure to BTC price movements through exchange-traded investment products.
The disclosure further highlights the significant involvement of Wall Street financial institutions in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market. #BTC #blackRock $BTC
Nasdaq, the U.S. stock exchange operator, plans to extend trading hours for U.S. equities to nearly 23 hours a day, five days a week.
The move is designed to capture growing demand from both institutional and retail investors worldwide who want to trade U.S. stocks directly across different time zones without being constrained by the regular operating hours of New York markets.
Under the proposed operating structure, Nasdaq would introduce a new overnight trading session running from 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).
With this format, Nasdaq’s equity market would effectively operate from 9:00 p.m. ET on Sunday through 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, with a one-hour daily maintenance break between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. ET for clearing processes and the transition to the next trading date.
The main trading session, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, will continue to operate as usual and remain the primary benchmark for market price discovery.
The expanded trading schedule is targeted to take effect on December 6, 2026, although the launch remains subject to regulatory approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as the readiness of securities data-processing infrastructure.
To mitigate the risks associated with higher volatility and lower liquidity during overnight trading, Nasdaq plans to implement specific risk-management measures, including restrictions on permitted order types.
The overnight session will accept limit orders only, while market orders and opening/closing orders will not be permitted. In addition, the exchange will introduce static price bands designed to reject trades that deviate too sharply from an established reasonable price range.#BTC #NASDAQ $BTC
