This is massive honestly. They were likely $18B. And by most accounts, they were almost entirely trading their own capital.

They were well liked and respected in the industry, having built up their fortunes trading over the years.

A little like Ray Dalio being on the run.

Not that big and not all their own capital. It’s the treasury management and VC investment in new projects that could be of concern.
^ this. Feels like this shoe really hasn't dropped yet, just mentioned on Twitter in a thread or two. Overall this is the most shaken I've been in the crypto space in a long time; this last week or two. The unwinding of giant firms is behavior of degens, not institutions. Add bear already + macro economic / political issues, and crypto thus far has blown it proving "drought tolerant" to the world around it. I'm still long on blockchain, but right now doesn't feel so great.
well the other shoe started dropping today :)
