对冲基金承认,他的资本的一半是在FTX交易所上
Galois Capital是一家对冲基金会,其创始人归因于今年的加密货币Luna的崩溃,在他的FTX Crypto Exchange将几乎一半的资产陷入了周五的FTX Crypto Exchange之后,这使他感到惊讶。
Galois的共同创始人凯文·周(Kevin Zhou)在给《金融时报》的一封信中写道,该基金可以从证券交易所扣除一些钱,但仍然“将我们大约一半的资本卡在FTX上”。 。 根据6月的Galois托管资产,这可能总计约1亿美元。
"I'm deeply sorry that we are in this current situation," wrote Zhou. "We will work tirelessly to maximize our opportunities, to regain fixed capital by all means."
he added that it could take “a few years” to “recover a certain percentage” of his assets.
ftx周五宣布,山姆·班克曼(Sam Bankman)弗里德(Sam Bankman Fried)在最后一次尝试确保救援方案的尝试失败后将辞去首席执行官的职务。 接下来是动荡不安的一周,在没有外部资金的情况下,证券交易所承认它无法满足客户的支出要求,这引起了人们对客户可能面临巨大损失的担忧。
根据第11章在特拉华州的联邦法院的第11章中,来自FTX的破产申请包括美国FTX的单位,Bankman Frieds自己的贸易集团Alameda Research和大约130家相关公司。 His empire was estimated at $ 32 billion a few months ago.
行业内部人士说,FTX被如此众多的对冲基金使用,被认为是世界上安全的加密货币交易场所之一,这意味着许多经理可能会被困在证券交易所上。
galois did not react immediately to a request for comment.
GALOIS is one of the largest crypto-focused Quant funds in the industry and managed a fortune of more than $ 200 million this summer. A large part of his trading activity is the one as a market maker, which enables him to make tiny profits from the trades of other investors.
Zhou在Galois成立之前在Kraken的数字证券交易所工作,他以他对加密货币Luna和相关稳定的硬币Terrausd的早期批评而闻名,然后于5月份崩溃了400亿美元。他在信中说,他的基金以这笔钱留在FTX中,因为他有“大量的公开位置”必须关闭,并且因为当他在FTX持有我们的资金时,他“低估了偿付能力的风险”。
he added that galois would become a creditor if FTX would register bankruptcy.
If that happens, I expect that we will get back to FTX a certain percentage of our assets over a few years, "he said.
