The most recent victim of the market collapse was Three Arrows Capital, a $10 billion cryptocurrency hedge fund based in Singapore. It was liquidated by several exchanges after failing to meet margin calls amid a drop in the prices of digital currencies.
Shares of cryptocurrency exchange Voyager Digital also fell 51% due to a transition from troubled crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital. In a statement, Voyager said it may issue a default notice to Three Arrows for its failure to repay the loan. A total of 15,250 bitcoins and $350 million in stablecoin USDC, worth approximately $660 million, are included in the broker’s exposure to Three Arrows.
Voyager has since secured $200 million in cash, USDC stablecoin and a line of credit for 15,000 bitcoins from Alameda Research’s investment division to meet the liquidity needs of its clients.
