According to the lawsuit filing, the markets regulator said DCG has already submitted an Offer of Settlement as part of the proceedings. With this, the investment giant will pay $38 million.

“In mid-June 2022, a large borrower defaulted on a margin call, which compromised GGC’s business,” the SEC said in a filing on Friday. “Yet, Digital Currency Group negligently engaged in conduct that misleadingly downplayed the impact of that default and overstated what Digital Currency Group did to help GGC in the aftermath.”

Meanwhile, this lawsuit comes as the Grayscale Investments parent company initiated a move to expand its list of subsidiaries.
