In what it hails as an effort to be transparent, Digital Currency Group’s market maker and lending subsidiary, Genesis Trading, revealed that its derivatives business has around $175 million worth of funds locked away in an FTX trading account.
Genesis shared the news in a Nov. 10 tweet thread, in which the firm clarified that the locked funds would “not impact our market-making activities.”
As part of our goal in providing transparency around this week’s market events, the Genesis derivatives business currently has ~$175M in locked funds in our FTX trading account. This does not impact our market-making activities.

Genesis also stated that they have no ongoing relationship with FTX or its sister company Alameda Research, the latter of which FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has said is “also winding down trading.”
To reemphasize, Genesis has no ongoing lending relationship with FTX or Alameda.

The denouncement of an ongoing relationship follows on from other businesses within the crypto industry seeking to distance themselves from the FTX fallout, with Tether, Circle, Kraken and Coinbase all having declared that they are not exposed to either of the troubled firms.
While Genesis suggested in the Nov. 10 thread that its capital and positions in FTX would not prevent the “full functioning of our trading franchise,” it remains to be seen whether its parent company Digital Currency Group will be required to step in like it did after Genesis suffered from its exposure to Three Arrows Capital (3AC).
Genesis claimed that it has “printed record volumes,” amid the FTX fallout, after claiming on Nov. 9 that investors turn to them when market conditions are volatile to manage their risks.
Our business ops, including lending and trading across spot and derivatives, continue to run normally and our balance sheet remains strong. Yesterday was a top 5 volume day for our derivatives business as clients turn to us during volatile market conditions to manage their risk.

However, Its active loans had fallen 74.8% throughout the latest crypto winter, with its latest Q3 report showing that active loans outstanding totalled $2.8 billion compared to $11.1 billion at the same time last year.

这篇文章探讨了当前人工智能(AI)领域出现的“年轻化”现象。随着大模型技术的快速发展,行业对AI人才的争夺异常激烈,并出现了明显的年龄偏好。许多顶尖高校的应届生或在校实习生能够获得高达数百万人民币的年薪或数千元的日薪,其薪酬水平远超传统互联网行业的资深从业者。 文章指出,这种现象背后是“AI Native”概念的兴起。企业认为,更年轻、从小接触AI的从业者(多为00后)在思维模式、学习速度和创新能力上更具优势,能更快适应技术的快速迭代。相比之下,拥有多年工作经验但转型较慢的从业者可能面临被淘汰的风险。因此,大厂和初创公司都竞相提前锁定优秀学生,通过高薪、重要项目主导权、灵活扁平的管理模式以及密集的社交活动来吸引他们。 这种趋势形成了一个围绕“年轻”的利益循环:年轻研究员凭借成果获得高薪或创业机会;年轻的创业者更容易获得年轻投资人的青睐和融资;而成功的年轻团队又倾向于雇佣和信任更年轻的成员。这在一定程度上冲击了传统的、基于资历和经验的行业规则,但也加剧了人才竞争和行业内部分化。文章最后也反思了这种狂热背后的隐忧,即技术革命在厚赏“非凡”年轻人的同时,也可能对无法快速适应的“平凡”从业者施以严厉的惩罚。
