Genesis Global Capital
Institutional crypto lender and trading-linked firm whose lending arm halted withdrawals after the 2022 market contagion, filed for Chapter 11 in January 2023, and became central to Gemini Earn customer recovery.
What happened?
Genesis halted lending withdrawals after the FTX collapse, entered Chapter 11, and proceeded through a wind-down plan that enabled major Gemini Earn customer distributions while broader creditor outcomes remained plan-dependent.
Customer funds
Genesis customer outcome is complex. Gemini Earn customers reportedly received substantial in-kind distributions after the Genesis process, while broader Genesis creditor recoveries depended on the liquidation plan and claim class. This seed should be upgraded with direct plan documents.
Terms risk
Genesis terms risk should be read as product- and claim-class dependent. Gemini Earn was connected to Genesis lending but has a separate customer-facing structure.
Uncertainty
Genesis outcomes varied between Gemini Earn customers and other Genesis creditor classes. This seed focuses on lending and Earn-related recovery and should be expanded with plan-level court documents.
