Crypto lending firm BlockFi has reportedly decided to stop accepting the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) as collateral.

Sources privy to the development told crypto publication The Block that the crypto lender has also unwound its GBTC positions.

Other than that, it will also not accept GBTC as collateral – a move ostensibly meant to help the platform maintain the trajectory towards evading what has befell rivals across the industry.

BlockFi’s exposure to contagion

Over the past few weeks, multiple crypto firms, including lenders Celsius Network, Voyager Digital and Vauld, have hit turmoil amid broader contagion going back to the collapse of TerraUSD and LUNA and the dramatic disintegration of massively leveraged crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.

BlockFi also had to seek a credit facility to stay afloat, which billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried provided via his crypto exchange FTX. The firm has thus remained operational, though uncertainty continues to swirl even as the market grappled with just how exposed these companies were to Three Arrows.

CEO Zac Prince has pointed to the fact that BlockFi continues to operate smoothly even as others folded. He says it is wrong to view the lender in the same light as the embattled Voyager or Celsius.

2/2

BlockFi is fully functional across all products (credit card, loans, trading, earning interest), no client losses, raised interest rates in July

And we have exciting stuff in the pipeline 😎
