Hodlnaut Works With Potential Buyers to Sell Firm and FTX Claims

Troubled cryptocurrency lending firm Hodlnaut​ is reportedly working with several potential investors to sell its business and other assets.

A number of potential buyers have inquired about purchasing Hodlnaut and its claims against the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, reportedly.

Hodlnaut’s interim judicial managers have received multiple proposals to acquire its Singapore-based crypto business after the company sought protection from creditors. Citing an affidavit, the report notes that the judicial managers are now in the process of signing non-disclosure agreements with the potential investors.

The affidavit reportedly indicated that as of Dec. 9, 2022, Hodlnaut Group owed a total of $160.3 million — or 62% of outstanding debt — to companies and entities like Algorand Foundation, Samtrade Custodian, S.A.M. Fintech and Jean-Marc Tremeaux.

As previously reported, Hodlnaut’s FTX accounts held 514 Bitcoin, 1,395 Ether, 280,348 USD Coin tokens and 1,001 FTX tokens. The company reportedly had more than $18 million worth of digital assets on centralized exchanges like FTX, Deribit, Binance, OKX and Tokenize.

Once a major crypto lending platform, Hodlnaut was forced to halt operations due to a lack of liquidity triggered by a massive bear market in 2022.
