FTX liquidated $1.5B in 3AC assets 2 weeks before hedge fund’s collapse

The missing $1.5 billion may still not have been enough for 3AC to cover creditor claims before the $10 billion crypto hedge fund’s collapse in 2022, Nansen analysts told Cointelegraph.

Newly revealed court documents show that FTX secretly liquidated $1.53 billion in Three Arrows Capital (3AC) assets just two weeks before the hedge fund collapsed in 2022. The disclosure challenged previous narratives that 3AC’s downfall was solely market-driven.

Once valued at over $10 billion, 3AC collapsed in mid-2022 after a series of leveraged directional trades turned sour. The hedge fund had borrowed from over 20 large institutions before the May 2022 crypto crash, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) fall to $16,000.

However, recently-discovered evidence shows that the FTX exchange liquidated $1.53 billion worth of 3AC’s assets just two weeks ahead of the hedge fund’s collapse.
