Three Arrows Capital (3AC) co-founders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies have decided to launch their own memecoin, Three Arrowz Capitel. The duo previously led a hedge fund that blew up, had its dwindling assets frozen by court order, and still owe billions of dollars to creditors. Authorities in Singapore arrested Zhu last year for failing to comply with court instructions. Branded under a purposeful misspelling of their failed hedge fund and retweeted from their official social media accounts, the duo now are now promoting a trading-focused Telegram channel to go with the newly-minted ERC-20 token.

The findings mark a significant rise from the mere 2% allocation in 2021.  That’s according to analysts at PitchBook who attributed this change to several factors, including the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX crypto exchange and the subsequent bankruptcy domino effect it created that compelled many U.S.-based crypto companies to reassess their strategies. According to the report, regulatory uncertainties and the effect of major crypto firms like Binance and Gemini falling foul of authorities have forced many companies to reduce the size and magnitude of their U.S. operations.  Some have even sought refuge in global crypto hubs overseas.
