The firm added that while many of its institutional debtors have already paid their loans in full, there is still $130 million worth of active loans, which is a figure that has only grown of the course of the lending service’s short, but fruitful lifetime.

Genesis pointed out that hedge funds “generally have thesis-driven views on assets,” so the arrival of its product, coupled with the bearish market trend, likely catalyzed traditionalist funds to borrow crypto assets to short the market in longer-term timeframes.

Institutions Borrow $553 Million In Crypto In 6 Months Per a brief report from New York-based Genesis Global Capital, titled “2018 Q3 Digital Asset Lending Snapshot,” at the start of March 2018, the firm launched the crypto industry’s first-ever institutional lending business to go hand-in-hand with Genesis’ already-established OTC desk. Although the venture was nothing more than an experimental stab at a potentially revolutionary service, in the same report, the American company revealed that its\u00a0clients quickly\u00a0gained interest\u00a0in crypto asset loans. Elaborating, Genesis Capital wrote: “Over the past year, through client feedback and the rise of derivative marketplaces, we saw a meaningful increase in the number of market participants wanting to borrow and\/or lend digital currencies.
