Crypto Exchange Founded by Three Arrows Capital Closes Down
The cryptocurrency exchange created by the founders of the now-defunct hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) is shutting down just a year after its launch. Open Exchange (OPNX) announced in an email that it will officially cease operations and close in February. The platform advises users to settle their positions before February 7th, download their historical data, and withdraw their funds by February 14th. After February 7th, open positions will be automatically settled, and the withdrawal functionality will be disabled by February 14th. OPNX aims to support trading of bankruptcy claims as creditors of failed crypto firms seek alternative solutions.
Three Arrows Capital Founders Behind OPNX
OPNX was launched by Su Zhu and Kyle Davies, founders of Three Arrows Capital. The Singapore-based hedge fund managed over $10 billion worth of assets but collapsed during the crypto bear market. The goal of OPNX was to become the first crypto exchange supporting trading of bankruptcy claims from failed crypto firms such as FTX, Voyager, Celsius, Genesis, BlockFi, Mt. Gox, and 3AC. Despite its closure, OPNX expressed gratitude to its community members for their trust and dedication.
