Gemini warns DCG is at risk of defaulting.

Gemini had earlier warned that in the event DCG is unable to make the required payment or restructure its debt, the digital assets conglomerate would be at risk of defaulting on its obligations. Warning of providing DCG with forbearance, Gemini said, “consideration will be based in part on whether the parties believe DCG will engage in good faith negotiations on a consensual deal.”

The exchange further revealed that it is also considering the option of presenting an “amended plan of reorganization.” This plan would be proposed independently without the involvement of DCG. Gemini has sought extension from the court to file this plan.
