Crypto ATM Cool Down

Genesis Global Trading is the firm’s largest creditor and primary financial backer, which is owed $116.4 million.

Additionally, it owes $8.5 million to sheet metal design and fabrication company Cole Kepro and $2.5 million to security services provider Brink’s U.S. according to the filing.

According to a November Bloomberg report, Genesis had provided an unsecured loan of around $100 million to Coin Cloud. The firm also hired advisers to help rework about $125 million of the ATM operator’s debt following the FTX collapse.

According to the Coin Cloud website, the firm has over 5,000 Digital Currency Machines (crypto ATMs) across 47 states in the United States and Brazil. Its grand vision has now been put on hold, however.

“We envision a kiosk on every street corner, providing the best, most advanced and most convenient digital currency experience to everyone.”
