Genesis Participates In The 30-Day Mediation Process Keep Restructuring Plan

Key Points:

• In order to keep its planned restructuring plan, Genesis will move into mediation with its creditors.
• The corporation will enter into a 30-day mediation procedure with its unsecured creditors’ committee.
• Prior to May 8, the procedure will include two primary mediation sessions and the specifics of the eventual agreement will be made public when mediation is complete.

Genesis Global, a bankrupt cryptocurrency lender, and a major creditor group have agreed to meet with a mediator in an attempt to rescue a planned bankruptcy exit plan supported by the company’s parent, Digital Currency Group.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Sean O’Neal, an attorney for Genesis, stated on Friday that the cryptocurrency lender has agreed to a 30-day mediation process that would involve its committee of unsecured creditors. This committee has been opposed to the proposed restructuring agreement, and according to O’Neal, Genesis is planning two substantive mediation meetings before May 8. He indicated that after the mediation process was completed, the exact details of the agreement would be made public as well.

The agreement followed Genesis Global’s request earlier this week to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to appoint a mediator to help in the terms and conditions of Genesis owner Digital Currency Group’s contribution to the debtors’ restructuring plan.

According to reports from April 25, many creditors have withdrawn from a prior deal. Certain creditors are unhappy with the specifics of Genesis’ parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), contribution to the restructuring plan.

DCG said that the request represented a decision by a subgroup of creditors to withdraw from an earlier accord.

Genesis, along with competitors such as Celsius Network and Vault, is one of a host of crypto firms impacted by last year’s market upheaval. The ensuing bankruptcy filing by Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX proved to be the last straw for Genesis, which was shortly destabilized by a slew of redemption demands. Soon after its lending arm halted withdrawals, the firm declared bankruptcy.

The company first sought bankruptcy protection on January 19, 2023. Unlike many other collapsed crypto enterprises, Its loan arm merely declared bankruptcy, implying that the rest of the company’s services remain operational.

According to the firm’s bankruptcy petition, it owes $2.4 billion to its principal creditors out of almost $3.4 billion in obligations. Its principal creditors and parent firm agreed to a preliminary restructuring plan. A Genesis lawyer said in February that the company was trying to sell its crypto loan and trading platform.
