Barry Silbert, CEO, DCG group, clarified that there is no bankruptcy threat to their group companies including crypto DeFi lender Genesis due to the FTX incident.
“Broader crypto markets have traded in a narrow range, after the massive selloffs in the previous two weeks, settling between a market capitalisation above $850 billion but remaining below $900 billion. The silver lining continued to be the improving global macro backdrop particularly in the US, where expectations of Fed slowing down on its hiking cycle gathered steam and resulted in a relief rally across 'risk-on' assets that was sustained over the week,” said Parth Chaturvedi, crypto ecosystem lead, CoinSwitch, a Indian crypto exchange.
