In August, the Singapore-based start-up Hodlnaut suspended deposits and withdrawals due to market conditions. Following that, the company sought creditor protection, which was granted a few days later by the Singapore High Court.
Following that, it was revealed that the cryptocurrency lender revealed that the collapse of Terra cost the lender over $190 million. Now, according to the latest affidavit viewed by Bloomberg, the founders of Hodlnaut are proposing the sale of the business rather than liquidation.

Lee also reportedly mentioned that the “Hodlnaut user base can be acquired and on-boarded on digital-asset platforms owned by or affiliated with such investors.” He also mentioned that it could provide maximum value for the creditors.
The year 2022 was a disastrous year for many cryptocurrency firms, including 3AC and Hodlnaut. Both had to halt withdrawals due to volatile market conditions and the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
