DCG addresses debt amid turbulence in the cryptocurrency sector

In the months leading up to bankruptcy, Genesis was saddled with significant debt. Fifty creditors are owed more than $3.5 billion.
Commitment and repayment strategy adopted by DCG
DCG has committed to complete all outstanding commitments for Genesis in November 2023 by April 2024. This promise was made under very difficult circumstances.

This large payment demonstrates DCG’s efforts to stabilize its business and deliver on its commitments in volatile markets.
