Genesis, through its GGC International Limited entity, was one of the first participants in the crypto derivatives market and enters into over-the-counter derivatives referencing a broad range of digital asset underliers. Its expert team of trading professionals facilitates transactions for both crypto-natives and traditional financial market participants who want to enter this unique market.
