The Co-Founders of 3AC Are Back: 3AC Ventures

Three Arrows Capital

The explosion of Three Arrows Capital in 2022 sent shockwaves through the ecosystem. This was a Singaporean hedge fund that peaked around $10B AUM and were considered to be infallible, until they fell. The fund found themselves over-leveraged and couldn’t survive. Their demise resulted in contagion across the whole of the crypto market.

The co-founders are looking to come back with their new fund that utilizes the same logo and basically the same name: 3AC Ventures. To be clear, this isn’t something to celebrate considering the damage that was wrought in the aftermath of their actions.

FC Barcelona Holding NFT Auction With World of Women

FC Barcelona: ‘Empowerment’

This announcement commemorates the release of FC Barcelona’s second NFT of the Masterpiece collection. This new piece ‘Empowerment’ will celebrate Alexia Putella and will be sold via auction on Opensea on June 26th. The Masterpiece collection will hold 10 pieces in total and each comes with premium benefits relating to the soccer club.

FC Barcelona is collaborating with World of Women, an iconic NFT project, to finalize this new NFT in the collection. The collection was created to honor iconic moments in the club’s history and heritage. The club has created a microsite that contains all pertinent info relating to the auction and NFT for those interested in further details.

Crypto Degens Place Bets on Missing Titanic Submarine

Polymarket, Host of Betting Market

One of the most popular stories of the past week is that of the missing submarine. This group of explorers sought to find the Titanic and began their voyage on June 18th. Without going into too much depth, the vehicle was ill-equipped for the mission and remnants were found yesterday which would suggest the passengers did not survive the expedition.

During the madness of it all, Polymarket created a market where degens could bet on whether the submarine would be found or not. Over $700K of volume has been observed betting on this trade. Gambling on lives is insane behavior in our objective opinion, but degens are gonna degen.
