A wallet belonging to Matrixport, a crypto exchange based in the British Virgin Islands, has removed $33 million worth of staked ether (stETH) from the Curve pool, according to on-chain data. It was initially believed that the wallet belonged to insolvent hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.

“This wallet was labelled Three Arrows Capital (3AC) due to it receiving large amounts of crypto from another known 3AC wallet. After investigating further, we’ve confirmed it was a 3AC counterparty managing this wallet: Matrixport. We’ve updated the label to reflect this," Nansen told Blockworks.
The wallet also removed 200 bitcoins , $4 million in tether and $4 million worth of wrapped ether (wETH) in liquidity from Convex, a platform that boosts rewards for Curve stakers and liquidity providers.
The wallet, which was previously tagged as belonging to Three Arrows Capital by Nansen, has been inactive for 10 days since it unwrapped $9 million worth of wrapped stETH. Nansen has since confirmed to Blockworks that the wallet was incorrectly tagged and that it belongs to Matrixport.
Three Arrows Capital was one of several firms that have crashed during this year's crypto bear market. It owes its creditors $2.8 billion, according to a court filing published in July by its liquidator Teneo, following a series of highly leveraged trades in relation to the network, which collapsed in May.
New York-based Teneo secured an important court decision in Singapore on Aug. 24 that allows it to probe Three Arrow's local assets there. At the time, Teneo had control of at least $40 million of the firm's assets.
Three Arrows Capital didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Stablecoin Adoption Is ‘Exploding' — Here's Why Wall Street Is Going All-In
Alchemy co-founder and president Joe Lau said stablecoin adoption is exploding as banks, fintechs and payment platforms push beyond the USDT/USDC exchange era.
What to know:
- Stablecoin usage is quickly broadening from crypto-native exchanges into payments, payroll and treasury as companies chase 24/7, digital-native settlement, according to Alchemy Co-founder and President Joe Lau.
- Banks are pushing tokenized deposits as a regulated, bank-native alternative that delivers stablecoin-like benefits for institutional clients.
- The endgame is a two-track system — stablecoins for open, two-party settlement; deposit tokens for bank ecosystems, until scale forces convergence and competition, Lau said.
