Ram Ahluwalia, CEO and co-founder of crypto-native investment advisor Lumida, and Samuel Andrew, crypto author and analyst, talk about the financial situation at Genesis and parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG). The collapse of FTX has dealt crypto lender Genesis another major blow, with the firm halting withdrawals and DCG stepping in to help.

- Ram's explanation of the "Grayscale trade" and why it is relevant to understand the current crisis
- the ghost of Three Arrows Capital and the origins of Genesis' problems
- why Sam thinks Genesis was "reckless" in its loan underwriting
- what a spot Bitcoin ETF would mean for Grayscale's revenue
- what options Genesis and DCG have to weather the storm
- whether it makes sense for Genesis to file for bankruptcy
- why Ram thinks Genesis lending product needs to be be shut down
- why Gemini and its Earn program loom large in the Genesis situation
- the risks of enforcement action from regulators
- what the most likely outcome is for Genesis and DCG and whether creditors will be made whole
- whether there will be broader contagion stemming from Genesis and what other crypto companies could be in trouble
- the problems of leverage and why crypto's "shadow banks" need regulation
