Genesis Files Claim Against Three Arrows Capital for $1.2 Billion

Crypto broker Genesis Global Trading, has filed a $1.2 billion claim against the now insolvent Three Arrows Capital, according to a 1,157-page court filing uploaded by bankruptcy trustee Teneo. Genesis's parent company, Digital Currency Group, has assumed some of Genesis's liabilities in the case, although it was unclear how much of those liabilities now remained with the crypto broker.

The filing indicates that Genesis Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Genesis Global, is seeking relief from Three Arrows regarding assets of $1.14 billion, as well as pledged AVAX and NEAR tokens worth a total of $91.3 million.

A list of creditor claims on the document reveals that Genesis Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. made demands for breached Three Arrows Capital loans totaling $2.36 billion.

The loans were partly collateralized with 17.4 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), 446,928 shares in Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), 2.7 million AVAX tokens and 13.9 million NEAR tokens – all of which have been liquidated by Genesis.

Genesis issued a margin call to Three Arrows Capital via the American Arbitration Association seeking collateral to make up the shortfall. When Three Arrows failed to provide the required collateral, Genesis sent a notice of default, stating that the entire loan balance was due.

Last month, sources said that Genesis faced losses in the "hundreds of millions" because of its exposure to Three Arrows Capital, which is also known as 3AC.

Three Arrows Capital filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the Southern District of New York on July 1.
