Grayscale’s stance against central exchanges sharing proof of reserve is causing concern among investors. The investment giant’s sister company, Genesis, is about to sell its assets due to the crisis it is in. In such a case, altcoin investors will face an FTX-like event.
Investors will have no claims on GBTC funds if Genesis goes bankrupt
Grayscale’s sister company, Genesis, announced that it was seeking a loan of $ 1 billion until this evening. If the company cannot find this funding, its owner will have to sell the Digital Currency Group assets. Meanwhile, new reports say that the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’s (GBTC) sister company Genesis Global Capital’s credit unit will halt customer withdrawals as a result of FTX’s collapse.
The report stated that the situation at Genesis did not directly affect GBTC. Even if Genesis is unable to provide liquidity for lending and file for bankruptcy, creditors will have no claims on GBTC.

Grayscale’s main fund GBTC is trading at historic discount
Bitcoin has fallen 72% in the last 12 months, while GBTC has lost 82% in the same period as of Friday. This reflects a significant disparity between and the Trust product.
