Major US indices close in red on Monday:
Major US indices closed in red on Monday. The S&P 500 was down 1.79%, Nasdaq Composite slumped 1.93%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average settled 1.4% lower. The downturn came after a higher-than-expected Institute for Supply Management November services raised investor concerns about the Fed’s plan to increase interest rates in December.
Other significant developments in the crypto industry that are likely impacting the overall performance of the market:
A report by Reuters indicated that a U.S. agency that probes allegations of misleading conduct confirmed Monday that it had probes open into several cryptocurrency companies for “possible misconduct.”
Orthogonal Trading receives default notice:
Meanwhile, in what is seen as a big blow to undercollateralized lending protocols, Blockchain-based lending platform Maple Finance has reportedly severed ties with crypto firm Orthogonal Trading over allegations that it was “misrepresenting its financial position.”
A default by Orthogonal comes at a time when undercollateralized lending protocols grapple with a liquidity crunch and the fallout from FTX’s implosion.
The move came after Orthogonal was due to repay a $10M USDC stablecoin loan from a credit pool managed by M11 Credit on December 4.
It is to be noted that Orthogonal’s lapse is the second time a borrower defaulted on Maple after Babel Finance failed to service its debt in June.
