- Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) director Conor Grogan believes Sam Bankman-Fried and Alameda were behind 2022’s stETH de-peg.

- On-chain evidence published by Grogan indicates that wallets associated with SBF contributed to the de-peg.
Conor Grogan, Director at Coinbase, has alleged that Sam Bankman-Fried and his quantitative trading firm Alameda Research were directly involved in a series of trades that led to the de-pegging of staked Ether (stETH) in June last year.
This de-pegging was previously identified as one of the contributing factors in the bank run of the bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network. It is also associated with the downfall of the now-defunct crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC).
