Genesis Trading, part of the Digital Currency Group (DCG) conglomerate, halted withdrawals on November 16. In its latest quarterly report, the crypto derivatives and lending trading firm said it had $2.8 billion in active loans. The fund administrator, Grayscale, is a subsidiary of DCG, and Genesis acted as the liquidity provider.
