Genesis trading: latest updates
Digital Currency Group (DCG) plans to sell the crypto trading and lending divisions of its subsidiary Genesis, which is restructuring through bankruptcy, a Genesis legal representative stated as the company announced a deal with creditors.
Last month, Genesis Trading sought bankruptcy protection after suffering debilitating losses as a result of the failures of FTX and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.
Circle, which manages the stablecoin USD Coin, and Gemini, which is financed by the Winklevoss twins, are two of Genesis' biggest customers.
