What’s new? Cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) has filed for bankruptcy in New York.

3AC situation. On June 16, 8BlocksCapital accused 3AC of stealing $1 million from the company’s accounts to secure borrowed funds and avoid bankruptcy. The next day, the FTX, Deribit, and BitMEX exchanges liquidated the fund’s positions since it failed to settle margin calls. It was reported that 3AC owed BitMEX $6 million.

In addition, FTX provided loans to BlockFi and Voyager Digital to cover losses due to debt from Three Arrows. The Singapore regulator later reprimanded the fund for providing false information and exceeding the maximum allowed amount of assets under management.
