Three Arrows Capital Was Once One Of The Largest Crypto Hedge Funds

Three Arrows, once one of the biggest crypto hedge funds with some $10 billion in assets under management, filed for bankruptcy in July last year after hitting financial difficulties following the implosion of the Terra ecosystem. It imploded with debts of some $3.5 billion.

After the MAS had previously reprimanded 3AC for providing it with false information, it conducted further investigations that uncovered new breaches. These included failing to notify it in a timely fashion of a new hire, providing it with false information in connection with that hire’s responsibilities, and failing to have in place an appropriate risk management framework, the MAS said.

“MAS takes a grave view of Mr. Zhu’s and Mr. Davies’ blatant disregard for MAS’ regulatory requirements and their neglect of their duties as directors,” said assistant managing director Loo Siew Yee. “ MAS will take measures to remove senior managers who engage in such misconduct.”

After the company  emerged from bankruptcy, it was rebranded as 3AC Ventures.

Solana traders prepare for FTX-induced sell pressure on SOL — Is it premature?

Image
Crypto traders are talking about SOL price falling due to the risk of FTX selling its $1.16 billion Solana stake. Are they over-exaggerating? For a long time, Solana (SOL) has been associated with the founder of now insolvent crypto exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, Sam Bankman Fried. He was an early investor in the project and invested in numerous Solana ecosystem projects during the 2020-2021 bull mania. So when FTX collapsed toward the end of 2022, Solana and other “Sam coins” plummeted significantly, falling to lows of $9.89 — down 96.3% from the peak of $259.96. Since the start of 2023, Solana’s price staged a recovery to gain 175% to reach a peak of $27.37 as the ecosystem also witnessed growth. However, more recently, SOL came under tremendous selling pressure after the Delaware Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of FTX’s digital assets, which includes 55.75 million SOL worth $1.062 million. However, the unlock schedule of FTX’s holdings and derivative market posit
