The digital assets lender is winding down its cryptocurrency spot and derivative trading business completely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Genesis has not explicitly stated the reasons behind the decision, however, a company spokesperson confirmed in an email statement that Genesis will cease offering derivatives trading immediately, while spot trading services will come to a halt on September 21.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">\u201cGenesis has decided to stop offering digital asset spot and derivatives trading through GGC International, Ltd. (GGCI),\u201d a September 14 memo, read.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">GCCI is a British Virgin Islands company, which is fully owned by Genesis Bermuda Holdco Ltd.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">\u201cThis decision was made voluntarily and for business reasons.

Cameron Winklevoss publicly accused Genesis CEO Barry Silbert of using \u2018stall tactics\u2019 to delay the company\u2019s official bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">To make matters worse for Genesis, the US SEC charged Genesis and Gemini, on January 12, 2023, over offering unregistered securities through Gemini\u2019s Earn product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">A week later, Genesis filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, the spot and derivatives trading as well as custody businesses were not part of the bankruptcy filing and continued to operate. The crypto market turmoil resulted in the closing of the trading services as well.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/genesis-terminates-crypto-spot-derivatives-trading-services-whats-going-on.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Currency Group\u2019s Genesis that went bankrupt in January this year, continues to get hit by the bear crypto market.
