The letter also said that Sino is still active and continuing to invest in new businesses.
Sino’s Funds and FTX
In October 2017, Sino made its first fund available to investors outside the company. However, since FTX disclosed it was suffering a liquidity constraint and filed for bankruptcy, there has been a lot of speculation about Sino’s holdings. This speculation has been building up for quite some time.
It is well known that Sino is a significant funder of FTX and initiatives related to FTX, such as Serum and Solana. In addition, it was made abundantly clear that the company has not engaged in short-term trading or any leveraged methods regarding investment holdings. According to what was said in the letter, “Like most of you, we believed FTX to be a great actor devoted to driving the industry forward.”
“We feel terrible about the trust customers had being lost in us.” Our direct involvement in the FTX exchange was limited to the middle of the seven figures in custody. Sino Global claimed in a statement on Tuesday that the company had invested in FTX’s stock before the debut of its Fund and that it had not put any
limited partner cash into the company.

Sam BankmanFried, the creator of FTX and a notable Solana investor, was also involved in creating the Fund. In the meanwhile, Sino Global said that business was continuing as usual.
