Nexo dodges $219M bullet just days before FTX’s solvency crisis

2022/11/10 11:29

According to Cointelegraph, crypto lender Nexo currently has net zero exposure to the ongoing crisis embroiling cryptocurrency exchange FTX and crypto trading firm Alameda Research. Nexo also explained that it withdrew its entire balance of funds from FTX within “the past few days.”
Alex Svanevik, CEO of blockchain analytics platform Nansen, confirmed the story, providing data showing that Nexo withdrew over $219 million from FTX between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. This also ranks Nexo as the top entity for funds outflow in the past week.
The firm appears to have dodged a major bullet, as on Nov. 8, FTX announced that it would halt all non-fiat consumer withdrawals. Continuing with its assessment of the situation, Nexo said that it had a small loan to Alameda Research representing less than 0.5% of its assets. The loan was fully collateralized by digital assets, which Nexo said were sold on Nov. 6. According to the firm, the trade resulted in “100% principal recovery and $0 losses for the company.”
