  • OPNX co-founder Kyle Davies, who also started the now-bankrupt 3AC, remained tight-lipped on the company's backers when he spoke recently to CoinDesk.

    The exchange got off to a slow start, executing a paltry figure of volume on its first day after going live. Since then, OPNX topped $2 million in daily volume earlier this month, according to flexstatistics.

    The reputable list of investors demonstrates demand from traditional finance for crypto startups.

    Davies was given two weeks on March 30 to respond to a subpoena in relation to books and records for 3AC, according to a ruling in U.S. bankruptcy court.

    UPDATE: (April 21, 2023, 18:01 UTC): Adds denial by DRW and Nascent.
