Genesis, a US cryptocurrency brokerage, announced on Wednesday that it was attempting to avoid bankruptcy after Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday that the company's creditors were banding together with restructuring attorneys to avoid insolvency.
The sudden demise of FTX, where its derivatives business has around USD 175 million in frozen assets, led the crypto lending division of US digital asset broker Genesis Trading to restrict customer redemptions earlier this month, the company had claimed. It stopped redemptions soon after disclosing on Nov. 10 that it had USD 175 million locked in an FTX trading account and had previously advised prospective investors that it could need to file for bankruptcy if its efforts to obtain finance failed.
