According to a recent report from the Financial Times (FT), Genesis Global Capital allegedly owes $900 million to Gemini customers. The exchange operated by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss is attempting to recover the funds from Genesis, according to FT’s sources.
FT reports that the centralized crypto asset exchange created by the Winklevoss brothers is owed $900 million and reportedly Genesis Global Capital is the debtor. People familiar with the matter told FT that Gemini was in the process of trying to recover the funds from Genesis and the company’s parent firm Digital Currency Group (DCG).
The report further alleges that Genesis is still attempting to solicit funds from investors to ease financial burdens. While reports noted that Genesis was trying to get $1 billion in funding, FT details that it’s been cut down to roughly $500 million. The news follows the report published by Barron’s author Joe Light that noted Genesis is reportedly being probed by state securities regulators.
Furthermore, on Nov. 22, 2022, the New York Times (NYT) reported that Genesis Global Capital hired a restructuring adviser. NYT detailed that Moelis & Company was hired by Genesis to “explore options including a potential bankruptcy,” according to three people familiar with the matter. FT’s report about the issues between Genesis and Gemini indicates that FT’s sources say Gemini is in the midst of creating a creditors’ committee.
Last month, Gemini revealed that customers using the platform’s Earn program could not withdraw funds. “We are working with the Genesis team to help customers redeem their funds from the Earn program as quickly as possible,” Gemini said on Nov. 16, 2022. Gemini insisted that customer funds on Gemini could be redeemed at a 1:1 rate at any time and the exchange’s other products and services were normal.
Gemini’s message was published the same day Genesis Global Capital detailed that it was pausing withdrawals and new loan originations. DCG founder Barry Silbert detailed in a letter to shareholders on Nov. 22 that it was important to note the lending arm of Genesis has had “no impact on Genesis’ spot and derivatives trading or custody businesses, which continue to operate as usual.” Silbert also reassured shareholders that his firm will “continue to be a leading builder of the industry.”

Quant was one of the biggest gainers to start the weekend, as price remained close to a multi-week high. This comes as cryptocurrency markets were marginally higher, following Friday’s volatile session. Monero was also higher on Saturday, as the token extended its recent gains for a fifth consecutive day.
Quant (QNT) was trading near a multi-week high on Saturday, as prices rallied above a notable resistance point.
QNT/USD rose to an intraday high of $131.95 to start the weekend, less than a day after it fell to a bottom of $121.95.
This surge in price pushed quant towards its highest point since Nov. 9, when price was trading at $150.60.
Looking at the chart, today’s rally came as the token moved beyond a resistance at the $125.00 mark.
In addition to this, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is tracking at its strongest point since October 26, with a reading of 54.85.
Although this is below a resistance of 55.00, many expect QNT to move beyond this over the weekend, with price moving towards $140.00.
Monero (XMR) was another notable gainer on Saturday, as prices edged closer to a key ceiling.
Following a low of $143.30 in yesterday’s session, XMR/USD moved to a peak of $148.19 earlier today.
This saw monero hover close to a resistance point of $150.00, as bulls attempt to recapture a recent three-and-a-half-week high.
As can be seen from the chart, XMR hit a three-week high on Thursday, when price traded at a top of $159.45.
Overall, the token has now been in the green for five straight days, and is up nearly 7% in the last week.
The RSI is currently tracking at 61.92, which is below a key ceiling of 65.00, which seems to be where bulls intend to land, and capture the $150.00 point in the process.
