Hodlnaut stopped withdrawals because of liquidity problems
Hodlnaut stopped client withdrawals Aug. 8 due to liquidity issues. The Terra ecosystem collapse caused heavy losses for the firm, according to The Block, who cited affidavits.
Hodlnaut had invested \$317 million in TerraUSD (UST) in Anchor Protocol on Terra to ensure high yields to its customers. According to the affidavit, Hodlnaut suffered losses of $189.7 million when Terra’s stablecoin, UST, was sharply de-pegged against the dollar in May.
According to the Algorand Foundation, it will pursue all legal options in order to recover Hodlnaut’s assets.
The foundation stated that Algorand’s nominees Angela Ee of EY Corporate Advisors and Aaron Loh, of EY Corporate Advisors were appointed by the Singapore High Court to serve as interim judicial managers for Hodlnaut on Aug. 29.
