Silvergate Capital Corp. on Friday said its exposure to Genesis Global Holdco LLC is minimal and that its customers'deposits are safely held.

The crypto-focused bank said its deposit relationship with the cryptocurrency lender was less than $2.5 million as of both Dec. 31 and Jan. 19. Silvergate also said Genesis isn't a custodian for its bitcoin-collateralized SEN leverage loans and that it has no outstanding loans to nor investments in Genesis.
