Coin Journal explained:
The debt settlement follows a lawsuit initiated by Genesis in September, seeking the recovery of an outstanding loan balance exceeding $610 million. DCG’s commitment to debt repayment, highlighted in a strategic agreement reached in August, reflects its determination to honour financial obligations.
Founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group Barry Silbert wrote: “I’m happy to share that DCG completed a full pay down of the money borrowed from Genesis. We have now repaid over $1 bn of debt, including this ~$700 mm, despite the headwinds faced by the industry. I’m excited about the industry’s next chapter and DCG’s leadership role in it.”
