Wallet trace — what the Professor maps:

• Deposit confirmations from the claimant to CME Globex’s receiving wallet at cme.im.
• Forwarding-wallet pathway documented hop-by-hop with chain-of-custody hashes.
• Cross-chain bridge transactions where the operator routed value out of the deposit chain.
• Mixer or coin-join interactions, where applicable.
• Final off-ramp at a centralised exchange — the compliance counterparty named in the recovery filing.

Off-ramp summary — CME Globex casefile:

• On the CME Globex casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for CME Globex is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the CME Globex casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, CME Globex escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.

How a CME Globex casefile becomes a regulator-ready filing:

1. Submission triage — CME Globex casefile reviewed against the no-go list, written reply within one business day.
2. Pathway trace — CME Globex deposit and forwarding wallets captured.
3. Endpoint identification — CME Globex off-ramp wallet named.
4. Filing — CME Globex packet delivered to IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, civil discovery as needed.
5. Ongoing follow — CME Globex stays on file until a documented next step is reached.

What the casefile records — chains and counterparties:

• Chains the CME Globex casefile may touch — Bitcoin and Ethereum at the deposit side, Tron USDT-TRC20 in stablecoin pathways, BNB Smart Chain and the L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) where bridges link them.
• Off-ramps relevant to CME Globex — the major venues including OKX, Bybit, Binance and KuCoin, plus the regional venues operators rotate through under regulatory stress.
• Filings the CME Globex packet supports — IC3, the appropriate state attorney general, the off-ramp’s compliance desk, and a civil-discovery overlay where dollar value justifies it.
