Summary

Three Arrows Capital (3AC) was a Singapore-based cryptocurrency hedge fund founded in 2012 by Su Zhu and Kyle Davies that, at its peak in early 2022, managed an estimated $10 billion in assets. Severe losses from the Terra/LUNA ecosystem collapse in May 2022 triggered cascading margin calls and a liquidity crisis that led to court-ordered liquidation in the British Virgin Islands on June 27, 2022, leaving more than $3.5 billion in creditor claims. The founders subsequently faced arrest warrants, prison sentences for non-cooperation with liquidators, a nine-year regulatory ban by Singapore's Monetary Authority, and fines from Dubai's virtual asset regulator over a failed post-collapse exchange venture.
