Wallets belonging to Three Arrows Capital have become active months after the bankruptcy filing in July. Moreover, the amounts in the transactions have now jumped to over $10 million.
Another Liquidity Crisis Due to stETH Withdrawal
The last liquidity crisis in June triggered a contagion effect that caused insolvency and bankruptcy of crypto companies. These include Three Arrows Capital, Celsius Network, Babel Finance, Voyager, etc.
The liquidity crisis was sparked by the withdrawal of staked ETH (stETH) from liquidity pools. As a result, the stETH deviated from a 1:1 peg to Ethereum (ETH). In fact, the peg between stETH and ETH was never restored due to the crypto market crash and other macroeconomic factors.
Moreover, the stETH is crucial for the PoS Ethereum. A further deviation could have severe consequences for Merge and Ethereum.
