Ethereum has slipped over 7% on the day as the attacker who purportedly drained FTX wallets dumped a significant portion of their accumulated ETH and traded it for Bitcoin.
Over the weekend, per blockchain tracker PeckShieldAlert, the exploiter swapped thousands of ETH for renBTC, a form of wrapped Bitcoin, before swapping the resulting tokens for Bitcoin.
According to data from Etherscan, the on-chain Ethereum holdings of the "FTX Accounts Drainer" dropped 26% from 250,735 to 185,735 over the same period.

The resulting price pressure has seen Ethereum drop by over 7% in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko.
On Sunday, Ethereum broke the $1,200 barrier, trading as low as $1118.64, a new weekly low for the cryptocurrency. At press time, ETH trades at around $1,117, with weekly losses of over 8%. Since the start of 2022, ETH has lost nearly 75% of its value.
Despite the drop in ETH’s price, the Ethereum-based NFT market has remained constructive, with NFT sales volume growing over 16% to $9.3 million over the past 24 hours, per data from Cryptoslam.
According to DefiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) across all decentralized applications (dapps) on Ethereum is down over 4% to $23.8 billion, indicating a reduction of DeFi activity during the bearish market movement.
According to data from Coinglass, $40 million worth of Ethereum futures trades were liquidated over the past 24 hours. Of the total liquidations, the majority of them (85.98%) were long trades.
The fallout from the collapse of crypto exchange FTX has seen cryptocurrency losses extend, driving the market into deep red territory.
Over the past day, the total market cap of all cryptocurrencies has slipped by over $30 billion to $832 billion, a drop of over 4%, according to data from CoinGecko.

Nearly $71 million worth of Bitcoin futures positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, per data from Coinglass. Of the $76 million liquidated, over 90% (around $64 million) were long trades.
Following the day’s bearish price momentum, Bitcoin is down over 76% from its all-time high of $69,044 recorded in November 2021, with the market capitalization of Bitcoin plunging from $1.27 trillion last November to under $308 billion today.
