The Big Bad Daddy is in trouble Genesis halting withdrawals, this is really going to hurt the big boys of crypto and the little people if they are still in the game. - started as the first OTC Bitcoin desk in 2013 - now crypto's largest lending desk. - part of DCG, Barry Silbert's holding company that owns CoinDesk, Foundry, Grayscale, and Luno - DCG also runs a big VC firm. The Shell Game - you give your crypto to e.g. Gemini - Gemini gives your crypto to Genesis - Genesis lends your crypto to a fund - the fund borrows from Genesis X+2% - Genesis gives Gemini X+1% - Gemini gives you X% You now earn yield. What could possibly go wrong? And this is why Genesis halting withdrawals is so bad. Genesis sits at the epicentre of crypto capital markets. They custody funds. They help institutions earn yield. They are the yield product for CeFi platforms. This may be your last chance to own your crypto before it is vaporised. Steady lads, waiting to deploy capital.
