The crypto economyhas been hit hard by the current bear market and the Terra LUNA and UST fallout that took place last month; the fall of Terra has undoubtedly started a significant domino effect with many exposed firms suffering substantial losses.

Much of the problems plaguing the crypto community stem from massive leverage, and most of the contagion effect is tied to lenders and borrowers. more than two weeks ago, crypto lender Celsius suspended withdrawals, and “people familiar with the matter” say Celsius is dealing with significant financial difficulties They state that Celsius is dealing with pronounced financial difficulties.

Singapore-based crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), reportedly the victim of a significant liquidation,purchased200 million of locked Luna Classic (LUNC), now worth $700 U.S. The problems stemming from Terra, Celsius, and 3AC appear to be dropping exposure to other crypto companies as well.

Bankman-Fried’s quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm Alameda Research provided a $500 million line of credit to Voyager Digital to help address 3AC’s exposure. His crypto exchange FTX provided a $250 million line of credit to crypto lender Blockfi on June 21.

“There are third-tier exchanges that are already secretly insolvent,” Bankman-Fried elaborated. He added, “There are companies that are basically too stuck to be practical to support, either because they have substantial holes in their balance sheets, regulatory problems, or not much business left to save.”

On May 27, 2022, Bankman Fried said the FTX was prepared to invest billions in M&A. Bankman Fried told Forbes that FTX is financially sound and has been profitable for 10 quarters.
