Wife of 3AC founder sells Singapore mansion for $38.5 million

Tao Yaqiong, the wife of Zhu Su, co-founder of the bankrupt hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), sold her Singapore-based mansion for a whopping $38.5 million. She managed to complete the sale despite a court-ordered asset freeze.

According to Bloomberg News, property records revealed that Yaqiong began the sale process in July and finalized it last month. Yaqiong, also known as Evelyn, purchased the property in 2020 for S$28.5 million, equivalent to $20.63 million at the time. 

The luxury bungalow is located on Dalvey Road, near the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and spans a land area of 15,568 square feet (1,446 square meters). After the purchase, Yaqiong renovated the property.

Chrispianto Karim, a Singaporean and member of the Indonesian Karim family, purchased the mansion. The Karim family runs the palm oil company, Musim Mas Group.  

The liquidator of Three Arrows, Teneo, secured a global freeze of assets worth $1.14 billion. The assets belong to Zhu, Davies, and Davies’ wife, Kelly Chen. The liquidator claims that 3AC owes about $3.3 billion to its creditors.

One of assets that can’t be sold include another mansion situated on Yarwood Avenue in Singapore. Zhu and his wife bought the mansion as trustees for S$48.8 million in late 2021 and tried to sell it in 2022. Zhu also owns another smaller property located at Balmoral Road.

What happened to 3AC

Zhu Su and Kyle Davies founded Three Arrows Capital (3AC) in 2012. Initially, the company focused on identifying and exploiting small price discrepancies in foreign exchange derivatives. However, the profits were minimal, amounting to just fractions of a cent for each dollar traded. In 2017, banks began restricting 3AC’s activities, leading the firm to fully shift its focus to the cryptocurrency sector. 

Three Arrows Capital (3AC) became one of the world’s largest crypto-based hedge funds. At its peak, 3AC managed over $18 billion worth of assets. The hedge fund invested in famous crypto projects like Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Avalanche and WorldCoin. 

During the last bull run, Zhu Su took to Twitter to talk about buying good-class bungalows. He said, “Thinking about buying all the good-class bungalows in Singapore and turning them into parks & regenerative farming.”

In 2022, 3AC collapsed after the bear market brought down many companies and projects, including Terra Luna and FTX. The hedge fund was vulnerable due to excessive borrowing activities in hopes of achieving higher returns on investment. 

3AC had heavily invested in LUNA and UST tokens, and the collapse of these tokens led to a sharp decline in the crypto market. The hedge fund began receiving margin calls from lenders but failed to meet them, resulting in major financial strain and leading to bankruptcy.

In 2023, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) banned Zhu and Davies from regulated financial activities for nine years. Zhu faced jail time due to his lack of cooperation to close down 3AC.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000(h3) BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area(h3) If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear(h3) The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish(h3) The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
