The firm is trying to shrink liabilities through some other means. The acquisition by the company of large volumes starts a bargaining process with its creditors.
The Genesis of the Genesis Trading Issues
The court of the crypto exchange where Genesis Trading operated (FTX), which folded in November 2022, fired the first salvos of bankruptcy in the market. Since the company was heavily involved, its credit has vaporized, and the derivatives business has become insolvent, locking away $175 million of crypto assets. Consequently, Genesis stopped withdrawals and formally applied for bankruptcy in January 2023.
Legal Settlements and Financial Repercussions
Genesis, in May 2023, signed a massive $3 billion settlement with New York to settle 230,000 people in its Earn program, accused of fraud. In October 2023, a bankruptcy judge in New York approved a $175 million settlement between Genesis and FTX which led to the dismissal of a good number of Genesis’ lawsuits. The court gave Genesis the authority to pay cash and crypto to it’s creditors which maybe resulted in the movement of last three days. The repayment, aims to cover about 77% of the total claims value, should be settled soon.
Impact on the Crypto Market
Genesis’s offloading of assets and the settlements are the latest in the list of supply shocks that the crypto market is experiencing, pointing to the wider sector’s instability. The series of events like the sale of 50,000 BTC by the German government, funds to be distributed from the bankrupt Mt. Gox exchanges, and the U.S. government’s plans for asset sales have constantly been the sources of supply disequilibria for the crypto market.
The recent moves of Genesis Group underline the almost continuous struggles within the cryptocurrency area, leading to their areas of law, finance and market dynamics becoming finally liable to the global market as well.
