Genesis' parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG) is seeking to unload its venture capital portfolio to raise funds, according to the FT report.<\/p>\n<p>DCG, which also controls crypto media outlet Coindesk and investment manager Grayscale, has invested in around 200 crypto projects across more than 30 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular investments, according to the DCG website, include exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, crypto investigation platform Chainalysis, Decentraland, USD Coin (USDC) issuer Circle, and Dapper Labs, the firm behind NBA Top Shots and CryptoKitties non-fungible token (NFT) collections. DCG also invested $250,000 in the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX in July 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous sources told FT that DCG's venture investments are illiquid since investors tightened funding amid a global economic downturn. Moreover, the collapse of FTX has also made investors wary of funding crypto projects. This means that DCG's portfolio could take some time to sell.<\/p>\n<p>Even if DCG successfully sells its venture capital holdings, it would not be enough to cover Genesis' outstanding debts. FT sources pegged the value of DCG's portfolio at around $500 million, which is less than 17% of Genesis' debt burden.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis halted withdrawals in November on the heels of the FTX implosion, citing \u201cunprecedented market turmoil.\u201d The Winklevoss twins, founders of Gemini, have been <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/dcg-labels-gemini-co-founders-allegations-as-publicity-stunts\/\">engaged<\/a> in a public feud with DCG CEO Barry Silbert over Genesis' debt.
