Are DCG’s Grayscales and Genesis on the Brink to Insolvency?
Andrew Parish, ArchPublic’s co-founder, shared that Genesis creditor claims have begun to sell in small batches, “in what could possibly be called a ‘dark marketplace’. ” He shared that transactions worth $15 million were closed at 35% of the pre-withdrawal suspension value.

Adam Cochran commented on Andrew Parish’s data and suggested that it could be the beginning stages of DCG bankruptcy. Alameda and Genesis had bad loans and intertwined relationships with crypto borrower-lenders. FTX bankruptcy and Alameda bankruptcy could lead to Genesis liquidation and its parent Digital Currency Group’s (DCG), going bankrupt.
DCG’s $1.1 Billion promissory note to Genesis may cause Grayscale’s GBTC or EETH to be dismantled. Grayscale could be insolvent as a result. Coinglass data shows that GBTC trades at a discount premium of -48.79%, while EETH trades at a discount premium of -52.58%. Grayscale’s Ethereum Classic fund ETHC trades at a discount of more than -70%.
