Ethereum DeFi Exchange Curve Suffers Frontend Attack: Report – Decrypt


Crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) received a lot of attention last week as the firm reportedly had liquidated heavily leveraged positions and sparked speculation about bankruptcy. According to a recent report, 3AC’s over-the-counter (OTC) operation TPS Capital presented a GBTC arbitrage opportunity before the company failed to meet the margin call.

3AC Co-Founder Says ‘Terra-Luna Situation Got Us Too Far’ – FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried Emphasizes 3AC-like Problems That Couldn’t Happen With Onchain Protocol

Before June 14, which was Su Zhu’s last day tweeted, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital Limited (3AC) was very active on Twitter. Since then, Zhu and 3AC co-founder Kyle Davis haven’t been active on social media at all, but the silence hasn’t deterred people from investigating the company. This is because various reports indicate that the 3AC posts were liquidated and some reports Estimates suggest that Terra Luna and the UST fallout crippled the company with “huge losses.” The same account indicates that it is possible that this prompted 3AC to “use more leverage to earn it back. This is also known as ‘revenge trading’,” the report said.

On June 17, it was reported by Reuters and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that 3AC was “exploring alternatives, including the sale of assets and a bailout by another firm.” Davis spoke with the WSJ and they told the press that “the situation in Terra-Luna bothered us a lot.” Additionally, Michael Morrow, CEO of Genesis Trading, Explained on Twitter that the firm “reduced our losses” against a larger counterparty that did not meet a margin call. He also said that no Genesis Trading client funds were affected.

Then FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried spoke about 3AC on June 19, and he stressed that issues such as the financial meltdown of 3AC “could not have happened with a transparent on-chain protocol.” Bankman-Fried’s statement a. stems from Question It asked how the crypto industry can ensure that a 3AC moment doesn’t happen again.

Report says 3AC’s OTC desk TPS Capital offered a GBTC-linked trade before the alleged collapse

Additionally, The Block Reporter frank chaparro published a report stating that “a few days before the explosion of Three Arrows Capital it was putting investors on a new arbitrage trade.” Chaparro elaborated that The Block reviewed investment documents that were allegedly provided by TPS Capital to investors and that the arbitrage opportunity included GBTC, a grayscale exchange-traded product tied to bitcoin (BTC). “He raised so many people,” a person familiar with the matter told Chapro.

“Three Arrows’ pitch was to structure a trade for counterparties that would offer the collapse of a waiver near the deadline for an SEC decision,” Chaparro wrote. “GBTC is currently trading at a 33.75% discount to the price of bitcoin, to be tracked.” Similar to the Celsius situation, the public hasn’t actually heard from anyone tied to 3AC. However, the Celsius Network team published a blog post stating that “the process will take time.”
