Based on a modified version of Visual Studio Code, it aims to provide deep code analysis, interactive chat support, and automated tools to help developers efficiently write, refine, and optimize their code.<\/p>\n<p>The company reportedly generates more than $200 million in annual recurring revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The stake originated from FTX\u2019s trading arm, Alameda Research, which invested $200,000 in Cursor\u2019s seed round in 2022. Liquidators sold the investment at cost, failing to anticipate the platform\u2019s growth potential.<\/p>\n<p>The sale represents another undervalued asset sale by FTX liquidators, who previously sold SUI blockchain contracts for $1 million that later reached a $3 billion valuation.<\/p>\n<p>The estate continues liquidating holdings to repay customers affected by the exchange\u2019s collapse, though the miscalculations have hampered recovery efforts.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Follow us on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheDailyHodl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thedailyhodl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/thedailyhodl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telegram<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Don&#8217;t Miss a Beat \u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/join-the-daily-hodl-email-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Check <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/crypto-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Price Action<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Surf <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/daily-hodl-mix\">The Daily Hodl Mix<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"hideinamp\">\n<p>&#038;nbsp<br \/>\n<center><\/center><\/p>\n<h6>Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
