Surprise NFT Purchase by Bankrupt Hedge Fund

破產對沖基金意外買進 NFT

In a peculiar turn of events, a wallet associated with bankrupt crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) has successfully purchased a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) despite the firm's ongoing liquidation proceedings.

在一個奇怪的事件中，與破產的加密對沖基金三箭資本（3AC）相關的錢包成功購買了不可替代代幣（NFT），儘管該公司正在進行清算程序。

Overlooked Bid from Years Past

過去幾年被忽略的投標

On August 21, 2021, before 3AC filed for bankruptcy, its wallet placed a bid of 20 ETH (approximately $58,800 at the time) for the "Neon Village" NFT from the "Ninja Village" collection by artist SeerLight on the SuperRare NFT marketplace.

2021 年 8 月 21 日，在 3AC 申請破產之前，其錢包在 SuperRare NFT 市場上以 20 ETH（當時約合 58,800 美元）的價格競購藝術家 SeerLight 的“Ninja Village”系列中的“Neon Village”NFT。

Acceptance and Confirmation

接受與確認

On Friday morning, the bid was accepted by the NFT's previous owner, "@anonymoux," who had initially purchased it for 100 ETH (approximately $348,700 at the time) in October 2021. This transaction was confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan.

週五早上，該出價被NFT 的前所有者「@anonymoux」接受，他最初於2021 年10 月以100 ETH（當時約348,700 美元）購買了該NFT。器Etherscan 上得到了確認。

Liquidators Missed the Bid

清算人錯過了投標

Teneo, the company handling the liquidation of 3AC's estate, reportedly missed the bid, allowing it to be accepted despite the firm's bankruptcy status.

據報道，負責 3AC 財產清算的公司 Teneo 未能參與競標，儘管該公司已處於破產狀態，但競標仍被接受。

Escrowed ETH

託管以太幣

"3AC made an offer on SuperRare, and the ETH was placed in escrow within the smart contract," explained Jean-Michel Pailhon, CIO of Grail Capital and a former Ledger executive. "Therefore, the funds were not visible as retrievable assets during the liquidation process."

Grail Capital 首席資訊長、Ledger 前高管 Jean-Michel Pailhon 解釋道：“3AC 對 SuperRare 提出了要約，並且 ETH 被託管在智能合約中。” “因此，在清算過程中，這些資金並不作為可收回資產可見。”

Previous NFT Sale

之前的 NFT 銷售

In March 2023, Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang acquired the original Pepe the Frog NFT from the 3AC estate for an undisclosed amount.

2023 年 3 月，Mechanism Capital 聯合創始人 Andrew Kang 從 3AC 遺產收購了原始 Pepe the Frog NFT，收購金額未公開。

3AC Implosion

3AC內爆

3AC, a once-prominent crypto hedge fund managing assets worth over $3 billion, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in July 2022 due to liquidity issues following the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

Aftermath

後果

3AC's co-founders, Kyle Davies and Su Zhu, subsequently launched Open Exchange (OPNX), a crypto derivatives and claims trading platform. However, the platform closed down in February 2023.

3AC 的共同創辦人 Kyle Davies 和 Su Zhu 隨後推出了加密衍生性商品和債權交易平台 Open Exchange (OPNX)。然而，該平台於 2023 年 2 月關閉。
