Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) Depeg Linked To Alameda Research? – Crypto News
Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) Depeg News: Following the chaos around ftx collapse in recent weeks, speculation is now rife around the Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) depegging from the Bitcoin price. While the rumors suggest certain wBTC is missing as it belonged to Alameda Research, the BitGo team cited routine maintenance of DAO multisig rotation. BitGo’s wBTC order book shows that there is a slight excess in Bitcoin custody compared to the total wBTC in the network. It means there are more Bitcoin (BTC) to support the number of issued wBTC.
wBTC Linked To Alameda Research?
Kia Mosayeri, Product Manager at BitGo, cited presence of assets in cold storage for gaps in the transaction stream. Contrary to the speculation around links to Alameda Research, he said the bankrupt firm is not relevant in this case. The speculation began after Duo Nine, who claims to be a technical analyst on Twitter, shared some data on wBTC holdings. He shared data that showed Alameda held around wBTC, which can’t be reclaimed now as it is bankrupt.
A total of 72k #WBTC cannot be reclaimed by #alameda investors, aka #FTX users, since they are both bankrupt!
Who exactly owns those 72k #BTC now? Are they even real?
What a mess. pic.twitter.com/X6GvM1EZBK

However, according to the wBTC order book details of BitGo, the firm claims to be holding custody for 225,862 wBTC against a total of 235,452. This means BitGo essentially holds around 10,000 BTC in excess.
