Why Did Genesis Sue DCG?

Genesis recently unveiled a debt repayment plan that the majority of the key creditors rejected despite the few in support. In an attempt to uphold the repayment commitments to the lenders, Genesis took the measure to file lawsuits against DCG.

In the Lawsuit, Genesis claims that the loans it provided DCG remain unpaid despite maturing in May. The outstanding loan amount stands at $500 million from DCG and about 4,550 Bitcoin from DCGI. Genesis also filed to take back the accrued interest and late fees apart from the principal amount. Considering the current Bitcoin Price, 4,550 BTC amounts up to approximately $117,100,000.

Lack Of Support From Creditors

Earlier, Genesis proposed a restructuring deal with the potential to offer the unsecured creditors a recovery of nearly 90%. However, for the deal to fall through, it needs the support from its key creditors that include the Winklevoss Twin owned Gemini.

The plan curtailed some creditors fronting additional funds to Genesis as an aid to help pay back other creditors quickly in return for a more significant share in the amount won by suing DCG. The estimated recovery amount could rack up to $2.8 billion.

According to previous reports, Gemini is on board the plan and trying to rally other creditors to join up in the effort to get more money out of Genesis’ parent company, DCG. It is unclear if the lawsuit is a part of the plan previously laid out by Genesis.

Crypto Analyst Says Ethereum-Based Altcoin To Go Much Higher, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin and dogwifhat

Image
A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst believes one (DeFi) token in the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem is setting up for a push to higher levels. The analyst pseudonymously known as Credible Crypto tells his 405,200 followers on the social media platform X that the native asset for the stablecoin-focused decentralized exchange Curve DAO (CRV) is “going so much higher” after entities locked a total of 900 million CRV. “That’s nearly one-third of all CRV that will ever exist (3.3 billion maximum supply) and 43% of existing supply. Most will be locked in perpetuity. That means one-third of all the CRV that will ever exist (43% of current total supply) has essentially been ‘burned’ and taken off the market forever.” CRV is trading at $0.281 at time of writing. Turning to Bitcoin (BTC), the widely followed analyst sees the flagship crypto asset witnessing more downside moves. “I don’t think this correction is over yet, but I do...

Bitcoin Jack’s BTC trading is based on a list of risks and components

Image
When evaluating the crypto market, Bitcoin Jack looks at multiple components from a self-made list, basing his analysis more on timing than specific price levels.

Jack mentioned that he maintains a personal list that includes crypto industry entities, global economic factors and other component...
