Genesis, the crypto brokerage platform that froze withdrawals last week, may resort to bankruptcy if it fails to raise money from potential investors, according to people familiar with the matter.

As reported by BNN Bloomberg, Genesis has spent the past several days attempting to raise $1 billion in capital from potential investors. This backs up a Wall Street Journal report from Friday, which claimed the trading firm was unsuccessful in its endeavor. Bloomberg stated that Genesis was in talks with Binance for a potential investment, but funding is still “yet to materialize. ”
