Web3 is going just great [English] - Genesis files for bankruptcy
- 28 janvier -
The Genesis cryptocurrency lending platform filed for bankruptcy, following weeks of turmoil after the FTX collapse. Genesis halted withdrawals shortly after FTX's failure, and shortly afterwards warned of possible bankruptcy if they couldn't raise at least $1 billion in new capital. The past few months have also featured a public conflict between Genesis, along with its parent company DCG and DCG's CEO and founder Barry Silbert, and the Winklevoss twins behind the Gemini crypto exchange.
It remains to be seen what the impact of a Genesis bankruptcy may have on its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG). DCG owes Genesis more than $1.65 billion, according to bankruptcy filings, including a $1.1 billion promissory note created to absorb Genesis losses in the Three Arrows Capital collapse.
