The greatest trader in the crypto world is now secretly crying in prison. Recently, Anysphere, the company behind the AI code editor Cursor, has just completed a round of financing led by Thrive Capital, raising $900 million with a staggering valuation of $9 billion. This round attracted participation from top venture capital firms, including a16z and Accel. However, the cryptocurrency trading platform FTX was a seed round investor in Cursor, and after FTX's bankruptcy liquidation, its liquidation team sold the Cursor shares it held for $200,000, which are now valued at around $500 million. (It hurts to see this!) This isn’t the only instance. In 2021, SBF heavily invested $580 million in the AI company Anthropic. On March 4, 2025, Anthropic completed a $3.5 billion (approximately 25.511 billion RMB) Series E financing, raising its post-investment valuation to $61.5 billion. If not sold, FTX's equity would have been worth nearly $8 billion; however, it was still sold early by the liquidation team for $900 million. We have to admit that SBF, besides being a legendary trader, is also an outstanding AI investor, capable of choosing and betting on the now-popular AI code editor Cursor and the AI model company Anthropic since the seed round. Unfortunately, all of it was squandered by the FTX liquidation team. At this moment, SBF can only cry secretly in prison. What can be done? Once off the poker table, all the wins and losses are no longer his concern. #加密市场回调 #中心化与去中心化交易所
