The co-CEO of FTX, also known as Yuga Labs, <a href="https://protos.com/yuga-labs-directs-royalties-to-bankrupt-ftx-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">announced </a>that all royalties generated from its new revenue stream would go into a trading fund running as part of a larger cryptocurrency fund. The address for this fund is located in the merchant bank FTXUS. 
Yuga Labs, the company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs, has been sending royalties to an FTX US wallet address based on analysis by Arkham Intelligence, a blockchain intelligence firm. FTX US appears to have received about $ 250,000&nbsp; in valuables from Yuga Labs in the last two months.&nbsp; 
According to the Arkham analysis, this money was sent to the address 0xAAe7aC476b117bcCAfE2f05F582906be44bc8FF1.

 More than $250K of Yuga Labs royalties have been deposited to a defunct FTX US deposit in the past 2 months. Is anybody going to tell them…?<a href="https://t.co/RYHchxeRsr" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external">https://t.co/RYHchxeRsr</a> <a href="https://t.co/muYcsyVpZh" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external">pic.twitter.com/muYcsyVpZh</a>— Arkham (@ArkhamIntel) <a href="https://twitter.com/ArkhamIntel/status/1778779730017206390?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">April 12, 2024</a>

The royalties, called creator give, are the fraction of NFT income that proprietors have selected to return to the artists. This practice Yuga Labs shall enforce, and legally non-authorized marketplace traders are to pay for the dealings. However, a service charge is not required and the customer can decide whether to pay or not. 
The future significance of this filing with Yuga Labs in the FTX accelerated bankruptcy procedure is still unanswered. FTX US was subject to bankruptcy in November 2022, due to its links to Sam Bankman-Fried and his co-conspirators.
