The rumors have been confirmed. Three Arrows Capital – which long denied it was in any trouble – is not only being forced to liquidate its assets, but it is now filing for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection according to an official press release.
Three Arrows Capital Is Kaput
The company – just a few weeks ago – liquidated all its assets in the British Virgin Islands. Now, bankruptcy proceedings have concluded in a New York state court. The unique points of Chapter 15 are that the company filing can seek cooperation between both foreign and domestic court systems when financial interests affect U.S.-based customers or operations. In this case, while Three Arrows Capital has investors based in the United States, the company is headquartered in outside territory.
Three Arrows has commented that its business is in full-collapse mode following the extraordinary volatility the digital currency space has been experiencing as of late. The fluctuations in market prices have proven too difficult for the firm to handle, and executives have decided to pull the plug.
A court document explains the following:
Podnošenjem predstavke za pokretanje ovog predmeta iz poglavlja 15 („slučaj iz poglavlja 15“), strani predstavnici nastoje da nastave sa aktivnim naporima pojedinačnih poverilaca da zaplene imovinu i da očuvaju status quo i daju stranim predstavnicima priliku da stabilizuju imovinu dužnika. , očuvaju dužnikovu imovinu i sprovedu potpunu istragu dužnika, potraživanja protiv njegove imovine i njegove imovine, uključujući uzroke tužbe.
Three Arrows Capital says that Chapter 15 became the one and only option as it prevents customers from engaging in “destructive” measures to gain their funds back. The company released a statement that reads:
Creditors may pursue a value-destructive race to the courthouse to exercise rights in a manner that would enhance their own position vis-à-vis other similarly situated creditors.
The digital currency market is sinking into oblivion, with losses for the year making those of 2018 (four years ago) look tame. Several exchanges in India, for example – such as Zebpay and Wazir X – say they are experiencing heavy dips in their trading volumes, while many other exchanges – like Coinbase – have been forced to stop all their hiring processes and even terminate employees.
Following in Voyager’s Footsteps
Not long ago, Voyager Digital – a blockchain firm that was tied at the hip to Three Arrows – announced its decision to file bankruptcy. The company said the state of Three Arrows gave it no choice. Chief executive Stephen Ehrlich commented:
Ovo je bila izuzetno teška odluka, ali vjerujemo da je ispravna s obzirom na trenutne tržišne uslove. Ova odluka nam daje dodatno vrijeme da nastavimo s istraživanjem strateških alternativa s različitim zainteresiranim stranama, a istovremeno očuvamo vrijednost Voyager platforme koju smo zajedno izgradili. Dodatne informacije ćemo dati u odgovarajuće vrijeme.
