Ren Protocol has transferred all its assets and shares to cold wallets controlled by FTX Trading, according to a tweet by the protocol. FTX had directed the protocol to transfer all assets to debtor wallets for safeguarding in advance of possible shutdowns of infrastructure and systems. The assets will be held on separate, segregated cryptocurrency wallets different from those used for other debtors. Ren allowed users to transfer tokens such as bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin among different blockchains and became one of the most popular decentralized finance protocols in the 2021 bull run. The protocol was acquired by Alameda Research in February 2022, and in November, Ren Protocol said it was impacted by FTX Group's Chapter 11 proceedings and had no funding to last beyond 2022 for the previous version of its service. Ren's REN token fell as much as 11% in the past 24 hours after the developers tweeted the move.
