U.S. crypto company Digital Currency Group is at the center of the industry’s latest meltdown after one of its companies, Genesis, froze customer withdrawals in November. | Reuters

CoinDesk in November published a leaked balance sheet of Alameda Research, the crypto trading firm founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. Many industry observers cited the report as the catalyst for the downfall of Alameda and Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange FTX, which filed for bankruptcy less than two weeks later.

Genesis Global Capital had partnered with a number of other crypto companies, including crypto exchange Gemini, to offer a crypto lending product. Gemini now says its customers are owed $900 million from Genesis. DCG itself owes $1.675 billion to Genesis’ crypto lending arm, according to a November letter Silbert sent to shareholders. That includes a $1.1 billion promissory note that appears to be connected with liabilities DCG assumed from Genesis after it was hit hard by the collapse of Singapore-based crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.Silbert started Grayscale Investments in 2013 after he stepped down as CEO of SecondMarket.
