@rkywld @unchained One of the greatest to ever do it 🐐

This week marked my last at @unchained. Leaving trad fi for bitcoin nearly 5 years ago was fueled by a desire to actively work to advance bitcoin vs just buying and holding it. Little did I know that in doing so I’d meet some of the most amazing people all from different walks of life, many of which would become lifelong friends. Eternally grateful to captain @josephkelly, @dhruvbansal, @parkeralewis, @21Bullish, @CaligiuriFrank, @ts_hodl and the rest of my team for giving me a shot and for the mentorship and friendship. Onward and upward!

@BTCombs11 Congrats my man!

BlockFills just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. $50-100 million in assets against $100-500 million in liabilities. BlockFills was a Chicago-based institutional crypto trading and lending firm backed by Susquehanna, CME Ventures, and Nexo. They processed over $60 billion in trading volume in 2025 and served around 2,000 institutional clients including hedge funds, asset managers, and mining companies. Here's the timeline of how it unraveled: February 11 - BlockFills halts all customer withdrawals and deposits, citing "market and financial conditions." Late February - CoinDesk reports the firm lost approximately $75 million. CEO and co-founder Nicholas Hammer steps down. Early March - Dominion Capital sues, alleging BlockFills misappropriated customer crypto assets, commingled client funds with operational funds, and concealed significant losses. A federal judge issues an emergency order freezing BlockFills' bitcoin holdings. March 15 - Chapter 11 filed in Delaware. Reliz Ltd. and three affiliated entities enter bankruptcy. The pattern is identical to every crypto lending blowup we've seen. Aggressive leverage in derivatives, counterparty risk exposure to other struggling firms, client funds not properly segregated, and losses hidden until they couldn't be hidden anymore. This is what happens when you hand your bitcoin to a third party and trust them to manage the risk. Not your keys, not your coins isn't a meme. It's a risk management framework. The firm's own backers include some of the biggest names in traditional finance. Susquehanna and CME Ventures did their due diligence and still got it wrong. If they can't assess counterparty risk in this market, what chance does a retail investor have? The answer is simple. Stop trusting intermediaries with your bitcoin.
