More specifically, well-known cryptocurrency market-making firm, Wintermute, sent the tokens from its 0xDBF address (which holds nearly $100 million cryptocurrency), to its deposit wallet addresses associated with centralized exchanges, OKX and Kraken.

Suspicions and accusations have emerged, regarding these specific BLUR tokens being traced to unlocked allocations belonging to both the Blur team, and early investors in the platform.

However, whoever the tokens belong to, it seems clear that they are using Wintermute to offload their tokens in the most efficient way possible, likely using a Wintermute OTC product/service.

The impact of the aforementioned 13 million BLUR tokens is yet to be seen, if and when said tokens are dumped on the open market.
