Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan faces a hit on investment in crypto trading platform FTX
2022/11/09 09:11
Teachers, which is Canada’s third-largest pension fund, invested in trading platform FTX Ltd. a year ago at an announced US$25-billion valuation. Teachers watched Tuesday as FTX sold itself to rival Binance Holdings Ltd. after facing what Binance called a “liquidity crunch” for FTX.
Tokens such as bitcoin plunged to multiyear lows as investors rushed to exit the digital asset market upon Tuesday’s news from FTX.
The situation marks the second such stumble for a major Canadian pension plan in the world of crypto. In August, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec completely wrote off its US$150-million investment in crypto platform Celsius Network Ltd., which filed for bankruptcy protection in July.
