Since the fall of the FTX exchange platform lending and borrowing Genesis capital has experienced liquidation problems which have caused them to have to suspend withdrawing funds.

Genesis which has been bankrupt, and made a stop at the revocation since last year. Barry Sillbert’s sin is mixed funds. Commingling funds are investment vehicles created by investors’ money, so instead of individual investments made on behalf of investors, a mixed fund is a collection of lots of money investors have pooled together.

Personal view
To be honest, there have been several cryptocurrency lending and borrowing platforms that have gone bankrupt, such as 3AC and Celsius. There may still be several other problematic lending and borrowing platforms. management on the platform is arguably bad enough to cause damage to their business. Lending and borrowing still cannot be implemented properly in cryptocurrencies if you look at the cases that have occurred because there are still many loopholes.
