Orthogonal Trading has defaulted on eight loans totaling $36 million on Maple Finance’s lending procedure. Defaults account for around 30% of ongoing loans over the whole protocol.

According to reports, the majority of the defaults — around $31 million — are in the M11 USDC pool, which is managed by a different entity named M11 Credit. The remaining $5 million is in Maven’s M11 WETH pool, representing a 17% loss. Other pools are unaffected.

Maple Finance has cut connections with Orthogonal Trading and will no longer accept loans from them on the Maple Finance platform.

According to a Maple Finance spokeswoman, the company hopes to collect at least $2.5 million to be spent to mitigate the harm. M11 Credit is considering suing Orthogonal in the hopes of collecting any monies.

Orthogonal Trading is a multi-strategy cryptocurrency trading firm focused solely on the digital asset markets.

The firm exploits inefficiencies in the nascent digital asset markets by using market neutral arbitrage trading across CeFi and DeFi to create a consistent, positive carry backbone and then augments these returns via capturing alpha via active trading in both cryptocurrency volatility markets and systematic delta 1 strategies. Orthogonal Trading also undertakes selective VC investing.

Orthogonal’s financial issues started when FTX collapsed in early November, similar to many other businesses during the preceding four weeks. Even though Maple contacted its borrowers to inquire about their financial standing right after the explosion, it asserts that Orthogonal first claimed to have “minimal exposure” to the exchange.

It wouldn’t be the first to fail however, since crypto lender BlockFi was compelled to follow FTX’s lead despite its best efforts to continue operating following the Terra crisis in May. According to additional sources, Genesis might also be on the verge of bankruptcy if it doesn’t quickly get a sizable sum of money.
