HQ Digital, one of Digital Currency Group's asset management subsidiaries, is shutting down.

Meanwhile, another Genesis subsidiary has had new layoffs. The cryptocurrency lender cut its staff by another 30% (to 145 people). According to an insider, the company is mostly cutting sales and business development departments.

Genesis had sent out letters of explanation to customers a couple of days earlier. They said they would cut costs and improve efficiency to overcome difficult conditions.
