Bankrupt Crypto Exchange FTX Slams Three Arrows Capital’s $1.53B Claim: “3AC Is Owed Nothing”

Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has said it should not have to pay a massive $1.53 billion recovery claim by Three Arrows Capital, arguing in a recent court filing that the crypto hedge fund’s “own risky [trading] strategy caused its collapse, and its own account activity — not any action by [FTX] — resulted in a significant decline in the “value” associated with the 3AC Accounts in June 2022.”
“3AC bet big that cryptocurrency prices would increase using cash it did not have and, when prices instead plummeted, 3AC proceeded to liquidate the risky bets it had placed and withdraw assets from [FTX],” FTX’s lawyers wrote in the filing.
The Delaware court overseeing FTX’s bankruptcy gave 3AC’s liquidators permission to expand their claim earlier this year, bumping it up significantly from their original claim of $120 million. This came after 3AC’s lawyers allegedly discovered new evidence suggesting that FTX had liquidated $1.53 billion of 3AC’s assets two weeks before the hedge fund started its own liquidation proceedings in June 2022. FTX’s lawyers say the liquidation of 3AC’s assets on its platform was carried out to satisfy a loan to FTX — but 3AC’s lawyers pushed back, arguing that the loan to FTX wasn’t sufficiently documented or otherwise substantiated. The bankruptcy court sided with 3AC, finding insufficient evidence to support FTX’s claim of a loan.
In the most recent filing, lawyers for FTX’s estate said that on June 12, 2022 the actual value of assets in 3AC’s accounts was only $284 million — $1.017 billion in digital assets and negative $733 million in US dollars. They also added that the “first and only” liquidation of 3AC’s assets ordered by FTX was on June 14, 2022, and swapped $82 million in crypto for cash — a move they argued “actually benefitted 3AC (not FTX).”
“The Joint Liquidators grossly inflate the actual $284 million value of assets associated with the 3AC Accounts on June 12, 2022 by more than $1.2 billion, and they ignore that the entire loss in account value resulted from market price declines and 3AC’s own withdrawals, not any action taken by FTX,” the bankrupt exchange’s lawyers wrote.
“The Joint Liquidators ask this Court to force other Exchange customers and creditors to foot the bill for 3AC’s failed strategy by asserting illogical and baseless claims for $1.53 billion…
[T]his is a false premise that lacks any legal or factual merit, and, in fact, 3AC is owed nothing,” the lawyers added.
FTX, which was at one time one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, filed for bankruptcy protection shortly after its collapse in November 2022. The exchange’s recovery trust started distributing $5 billion to FTX creditors in May.
3AC collapsed in June 2022, one month after the collapse of the Terra/LUNA ecosystem, starting a domino-like collapse of major crypto companies including Voyager, Celsius, BlockFi and Genesis.
3AC has until July 11 to file an objection before the hearing set for August 12.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.
Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.
The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.
Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.
«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.
The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.
On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.
The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.
Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.
Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
