Roughly 94% of the $84 million deal was paid in FTT tokens — which FTX created — Bloomberg reported, citing financial statements it obtained.
The financial details of FTX's purchase of Blockfolio were previously unclear, though it was widely reported at the time that the exchange paid with a combination of cash, crypto and equity.
The news follows a late complaint yesterday from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which claims FTT is a security. It specifically noted that FTX used proceeds from the FTT token sale to fund its business efforts.
FTX co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is currently in FBI custody following a barrage of charges. Additionally, FTX co-founder Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of sister trading firm Alameda Research, have both pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
