Digital Currency Group (DCG) is about to shut down its wealth management subsidiary it launched last year, HQ Digital. The unit is closing due to “the more uncertain state of the economic environment and the long crypto winter which is a significant headwind for the sector.”
DCG is the parent company of Genesis Trading and has indicated that it plans to return to this project in the future. HQ Digital was launched last year to manage the wealth of crypto entrepreneurs and investors, and has managed more than $3.5 billion as of December.
Genesis Trading halted withdrawals and issuing new loans after FTX collapsed in November, in a move that hurt other cryptocurrency firms, including Gemini. Gemini offered its users an Earn product based on the Genesis service.
Gemini recently pressured DCG to find a solution to the issue that left $900 million in user funds blocked.
