Crypto hedge fund DeFiance Capital said it was "materially affected" and "prejudiced" by the liquidation of rival fund Three Arrows Capital.
- In a statement published on Twitter on Friday, Singapore-based DeFiance said CEO Arthur Cheong had "no visibility" on Three Arrow Capital's financial statements or conditions. He became aware of solvency problems only when the news broke in June.
- "Arthur Cheong is committed to taking all necessary steps to protect, preserve and recover all assets which are and were owned in the context of DC's business," the company said.
- When concern about Three Arrows' solvency surfaced in June, DeFiance stated that it was “actively working to resolve the situation.”

- A number of crypto companies have been hit by the Three Arrows Capital fallout, with Genesis Trading reporting "hundreds of millions" in losses and Voyager Digital filing for bankruptcy after the fund defaulted on $670 million of loans. Genesis is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which owns CoinDesk.
