Why It Matters: 3AC sold $40 million of Lido’s staked Ether (stETH) early Tuesday, according to a report from cryptocurrency publication The Defiant, which cited blockchain data.
While stETH maintained a peg with ETH, that changed dramatically last week as the beleaguered Celsius (CEL) began to sell its holdings to facilitate withdrawals.
Three Arrows also suffered heavy losses due to its exposure to Terra Classic (LUNC), reported The Block.
In May, LUNC lost almost all of its value after the project-backed algorithmic stablecoin TerraClassic USD (USTC) lost its peg with the dollar.
Zhu is known to tweet about Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) alternatives such as Avalanche (AVX) and Solana (SOL). Recently, he labeled stETH as the “most sound source of native protocol yield on Ethereum.”
