Three Arrows Capital is losing it to the bear market
Su Zhu and Kyle Davies launched Three Arrows Capital Ltd. al in 2012 also known as 3AC, a hedge fund that focuses on delivering better risk-adjusted returns. As a result of the significant drop in the cryptocurrency markets, 3AC is currently in the process of liquidating its assets. They have borrowed $190,000,000 in total from AAVE. Ethereum valued at $235 million was kept as collateral for this loan. Concerns about 3AC coincide with news that cryptocurrency lender Celsius may not be solvent. The company may not have enough capital to repay investors while managing billions of dollars in user funds. According to blockchain data, one of 3AC's wallets has a $183 million debt. Co-founder Su Zhu tweeted the following in the midst of all of this with no particular context.
