Основачот на Bybit се осврна на загриженоста поради изложеноста на фирмата од 151 милиони долари на банкрот Генезис

Ben Zhao, the founder of crypto exchange Bybit, took it to Twitter to address concerns raised over the company’s exposure to the now-bankrupt crypto lender Genesis Global Capital.

According to court filings, Genesis owes its top 50 creditors $3.4 billion, including Bybit’s investment unit Mirana. The filing shows that the crypto lender owes Mirana approximately $151 million.

Zhao: Bybit’s Earn Product Does Not Use Mirana

In одговор to a tweet mentioning Mirana’s exposure to Genesis, Zhao stated that the reported $151 million has around $120 million of collateralized positions, which Mirana had already liquidated.

He added that the investment firm only manages a portion of Bybit’s assets. Zhao also stated that client funds are separated, and Bybit’s earn product does not use Mirana.

Целосно откривање:
1. Мирана е инвестициската рака на bybit.
2. Мирана управува само со дел од имотот на компанијата со бит. Фондот на клиентот е одвоен snd bybit заработи производот не користи mirana.
3. Пријавените 151 милиони имаат околу 120 метри загарантирани позиции кои Мирана веќе ги ликвидираше. https://t.co/kqVPpAMGky

Крипто-заедницата реагира

The tweet by the Bybit founder sparked several reactions on Crypto Twitter, with some users questioning the timing of the clarification given that Genesis’ financial troubles were repeatedly reported before it eventually filed for bankruptcy.

Еден корисник на Твитер побара that Bybit provide the full details of their products, including how they are being managed, where they are generated, and the third parties responsible for generating yield.

Друг корисник изјави that the tweet reminded him of Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, saying that the financial status of the former SBF-led empire was healthy before they filed for bankruptcy in November.
