The parent company of the lender, the Digital Currency Group, has now taken over some of the Genesis's liabilities in connection with 3AC, said Moro. He added other strategies to compensate for additional losses.
The announcement takes place about three weeks according to Moro said Genesis reduced losses with a "big counterpart" came after. However, he did not mention how high the losses were, but explained that no customer funds were affected. 3ac was generally assumed as a opponent.
The 3AC, the needy loans have shaken the cryptocurrency industry, with some lenders uncovering significant losses that forced them to adjust and set the trade on their platforms. The crypto loan Voyager registered bankruptcy on Wednesday, weeks after he had set the fund a deadline to make a loan repayment of $ 657 million. Since 3ac filed for bankruptcy itself last week, it is most likely not able to meet its obligations.
