Financial flow data shows that a total of about $40 million has been transferred from Steaker's multi-signature wallets to FTX. Of this amount, $20 million comes from Ethereum and BSC multi-signature wallets, $20 million from TRON multi-signature wallets, and only a small portion, $1.4 million, from multi-signature wallets to Binance.
