Генесис зауставља кредитирање криптовалута, окривљује 'ФТКС имплозију'

The lending division of cryptocurrency asset manager Genesis moved Wednesday morning in New York to put a halt to customer redemptions and new loan originations.

The decision stemmed from the building fallout of FTX’s collapse. Reverberations started with broader exchange liquidity issues triggered by a rush by big-money traders to take their digital assets off of exchanges in favor of safer cold-storage solutions. Now, industry participants told Blockworks, the FTX contagion is spreading to crypto credit markets.

Genesis executives told institutional clients on a call Wednesday morning, according to a source familiar with the matter. Another source last week told Blockworks Genesis was “functionally insolvent.”

A spokesperson for Genesis did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sources were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive business dealings.

Venture capital firm DCG, the company’s main backer, wrote in a series of tweets Wednesday morning that the custody and trading arms of Genesis have not been affected.

„Ова одлука је донета као одговор на екстремну дислокацију тржишта и губитак поверења индустрије изазване имплозијом ФТКС“, саопштила је компанија.

CoinDesk first пријавио the news of the halt to the crypto firm’s credit facilities.
