In its filing with the U.S. bankruptcy court for the District of Nevada, Coin Cloud declared an estimated number of creditors of between 5,000 and 10,000. In addition, the company estimated that its total assets range between $50 million and $100 million while its total liabilities fall between $100 million and $500 million.
Crypto lender Genesis Global Trading Inc. is listed as Coin Cloud’s largest unsecured creditor, with a total claim of $116,353,435. After deducting the value of collateral, Genesis Global Trading’s unsecured claim amounts to $108,568,655, the filing shows.

The machines allow users to buy and sell over 40 cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin, and ether. They also offer a number of stablecoins, gaming tokens, and decentralized finance (defi) coins.
