DCG Short-term Loans With Genesis Were Successfully Repaid

The company revealed that DCG short-term loans have been paid out over $1 billion in the past year, with a substantial portion, approximately $700 million, directed specifically to Genesis. This development signifies the fulfillment of the company’s financial obligations in the short term.

In response to the achievement, DCG expressed satisfaction, stating, “DCG is pleased to announce that we have completed a payoff of all short-term loans from Genesis.” The company further emphasizes its commitment to meeting outstanding loans and eagerly expects the next chapter of DCG and the growth of the industry.

The repayment of DCG short-term loans comes after Genesis initiated legal action against DCG in September, seeking to recover a loan balance exceeding $610 million, due since May 2023. Court documents from September revealed DCG’s total debt to Genesis and other creditors exceeded $1.7 billion.

As part of a strategic agreement reached in November, DCG committed to a $200 million payment in subsequent weeks, with the remaining loan balance scheduled for repayment to Genesis by April 1, as approved in federal bankruptcy court.

The financial dispute between DCG and Genesis originated from internal transactions related to the LUNA-UST and FTX collapses in 2022, resulting in DCG owing Genesis billions of dollars. Genesis declared bankruptcy, affecting other entities like the Gemini exchange.

The late repayment of Genesis’ debt by DCG in May 2023 urged legal action, which was eventually settled among the involved parties. DCG assures its continued commitment to meeting outstanding obligations in the near future.
