FT Experiences Minimal Liquidation During Major Market Correction

On June 6, Sonic co-founder Andre Cronje stated that during the first significant market correction experienced by the derivatives platform FT (FlyingTulip), the equity account lending model resulted in only about $50,000 in liquidation. This is significantly lower than traditional loan-to-value (LTV) models due to the use of net risk calculations instead of discounted collateral models, along with the effectiveness of a soft liquidation mechanism, which resulted in an average liquidation amount of only $200 to $2,000 per transaction. Andre Cronje noted that if a traditional LTV-based lending system had been used, the liquidation scale during this market volatility could have increased by 10 to 20 times. He emphasized that the equity account model enables net risk management and reduces market impact through the soft liquidation mechanism, leading to a safer, lower volatility, and reduced discount loss lending experience.
