BlockFi—a cryptocurrency lending platform, announced on Twitter that it had to liquidate a big client despite the fact that it was one of its best business judgments.
The lending platform came to this decision to mitigate risks associated with contracts that include particular counterparties.
BlockFi is one of several firms that were part of Three Arrows Capital’s insolvency (3AC).
Zac Prince on Twitter stated that venture firm Three Arrows Capital (3AC) failed to make its margin calls, resulting in unplanned liquidations.
The venture business borrowed Bitcoin from BlockFi but failed to meet a margin call following the most recent massive cryptocurrency massacre.
BlockFi Arranges Risk Management Policies
Reports of the liquidation began to appear on the 15th of this month, indicating that Three Arrows Capital was experiencing financial concerns.
According to the reports, 3AC’s lenders have liquidated $400 million from the venture business.
The names of the firms involved in the liquidation confused many investors. It later came to light that BlockFi was one of the firms involved in the liquidation issue.
According to reports, BlockFi had liquidated a major part of the venture capital firm’s stakes on its own.
Basically, the crypto lending business used collateral it had previously given to back its own lending activities to reduce its commitment to Three Arrows Capital’s positions.
BlockFi’s Chief Risk Officer, Yuri Mushkin, stated that the crypto lender has retained collateral in excess of the loan’s amount. It helped the firm reassure the public that BlockFi’s risk management policy is strong enough to get the company through this challenging period and that the company would continue to operate normally.

Despite widespread liquidations, 3AC will remain afloat. Zhu Su, 3AC’s co-founder, recently indicated on Twitter that the company is in the process of speaking with parties concerned and dedicated to sorting this out.
