Cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital has fallen into liquidation in the latest sign of the “crypto winter” hitting digital assets worldwide.
Crypto broker Voyager Digital issued Singapore-based Three Arrows with a default notice on Monday after it failed to make payments on a loan of 15,250 bitcoins ($324 million) and $350 million worth of USD Coin, a stablecoin.
The broker said it intended to pursue recovery from Three Arrows Capital and was in discussions with its legal advisers concerning the legal remedies available.
A British Virgin Islands court order also dated on Monday ordered the Three Arrows into liquidation. Consultancy firm Teneo has been appointed as liquidators.

News of the Three Arrows Capital liquidation was first reported by broadcaster Sky on Wednesday.
On June 15, its co-founder sought to address liquidation rumours in a tweet, saying the company was “fully committed to working this out”, without going into further detail.
