The Digital Currency Group (DCG), a leading crypto conglomerate and parent company of Genesis’ lending division, finds itself entangled in the bankruptcy proceedings between Gemini and Genesis. The last few weeks had many fearing that the company might default on a repayment to the bankruptcy estate starting the week of May 9.
This fear was confirmed in a Gemini transparency report when Gemini, a crypto exchange and Genesis creditor, announced on Friday that DCG failed to make a $630 million payment due the week of May 9:
“In the event a deal cannot be reached, Gemini (along with the other parties) is working with Genesis to suggest terms for an amended plan of reorganization that could be advanced without DCG’s consensual participation.”
Earlier in May, Genesis’s creditors agreed to a 30-day mediation period and a court-appointed mediator after a fraction of the creditors distanced themselves from a February reorganization plan. The update read, “Gemini to begin a 30-day process to mediate ‘the contribution to be provided by DCG and its affiliates’ to the Genesis bankruptcy.”
1/ Earn update: This past week, Genesis, Digital Currency Group (DCG), the Unsecured Creditors Committee (UCC), the Creditor Committee, and Gemini agreed to start a 30-day mediation process to drive to a final resolution as soon as possible.
