Barry Silbert’s DCG Faces New Lawsuit Amid Genesis Bankruptcy Fallout
Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert faces fresh legal action alongside DCG executives, marking another chapter in the protracted Genesis bankruptcy saga. The lawsuit stems from Genesis’ collapse following the Terra-LUNA debacle in May 2022, when counterparties including Three Arrows Capital defaulted on loans.
DCG’s vague liquidity support measures temporarily placated creditors before Genesis ultimately filed for bankruptcy. The insolvency has entangled Gemini’s Earn program, freezing approximately $1 billion in user assets. This development underscores the cascading risks in crypto lending markets when major players falter.
