The bankruptcy hearing for embattled crypto lender Genesis commences today at a New York Southern District court.
Winklevoss said this move will afford the firm to recoup its funds as the Barry Silbert-led DCG has continued to refuse to offer its creditors a fair deal.
Hoskinson predicted that the purchase would cost him around two hundred million USD and that he will examine the financial details before taking concrete action.
The collapse of Genesis was major fueled by its deep exposure to two of the most severe bankruptcies in the digital currency ecosystem.
DCG is currently looking for ways to save its business and grow its capital.
The SEC also revealed that Genesis and Gemini generated assets worth hundreds of dollars from hundreds of thousands of investors.
The master loan agreement (MLA) between Gemini’s customers and Genesis now ceases to exist.
Winklevoss accused Genesis of recklessly lending to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) and hoping to “buy time to dig themselves out of the hole which they had created”.
The crypto winter has exposed the frailty in the business models of many companies in Web3, and the implosion of the FTX Derivatives Exchange back in November further aggravated the financial inconsistencies in Genesis and DCG as a whole.
DCG once appeared to be untouchable but may fast be losing its stability.
Along with the Ethereum Trust, several other Grayscale products are trading at steep discounts recently as parent firm DCG is grappling with liquidity issues.
Cameron also blamed Silbert for the entire financial headwinds, saying that DCG owed Genesis $1.675 billion, and it is the money that Genesis owes Gemini clients.
Gemini has formed a creditor’s committee to recoup the funds from crypto lender Genesis and its parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG).
Crypto news site CoinDesk has reportedly sparked buyout interest following the platform’s report on FTX and Alameda ties.
DCG chief Barry Silbert assured investors that the situation at hand is manageable and that they would come out ‘stronger’ from the current liquidity crisis at Gensis Global.
