Following the November collapse of FTX, Genesis Global Capital, the company’s lending arm, temporarily suspended redemptions and new loans.
A representative said that this decision was taken due to the substantial market dislocation and lack of industry trust brought on by the FTX collapse. The firm filed for bankruptcy in January after suffering losses of several hundred million dollars due to the collapse of Three Arrows Capital.
