Hedge funds left with billions stranded on FTX-

Tuesday, November 22, 2022

11.22.22 - Will this be worse than Lehman?

Gold last traded at $1,739 an ounce. Silver at $21.07 an ounce.

 Financial Times--Hedge funds have billions of dollars stuck on failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX and could face years of waiting to recover anything at all from a marketplace they once believed to be one of the industry's most reliable bets.

In a situation reminiscent of Lehman Brothers in 2008, which left billions of dollars of hedge funds' assets trapped for years, investors who traded on the Bahamas-based exchange have found themselves among the thousands of creditors in a highly complex bankruptcy.

The sudden failure this month of FTX, valued at $32bn this year, has shocked investors who backed it and traders who used it. Legal filings on Sunday revealed that FTX owes its 50 largest creditors, likely to include a wide variety of hedge funds, more traditional asset managers and other traders, more than $3bn.

"I lost my investors' money after they put faith in me to manage risk and I am truly sorry for that," tweeted Travis Kling, founder of Ikigai Asset Management, which has a "large majority" of its hedge fund's assets stuck on FTX. "I have publicly endorsed FTX many times," he added. "I was wrong." Crypto-focused hedge funds have direct exposure to FTX Group or to FTT, FTX's own digital token which it promoted to incentivise more trading on its main exchange, of around $2bn, according to data group Crypto Fund Research
