reached a settlement<\/a> in principle with Genesis and other creditors in the Genesis Bankruptcy, which will result in all Earn users receiving 100% of their digital assets back in kind.<\/p>\nThis means, for example, that if a customer lent one bitcoin in the Earn program, they will receive one bitcoin back. This ensures that customers will benefit from any and all appreciation of their digital assets since they lent them into the Earn program. <\/p>\n
In order to ensure this successful resolution, Gemini has also contributed $50 million<\/span> to the Earn users’ recovery.<\/p>\n“We are thrilled that we have been able to achieve this recovery for our customers. We recognize the hardship caused by this lengthy process and appreciate our customers’ continued support and patience throughout,” said Cameron Winklevoss<\/span>, Co-Founder and President of Gemini.<\/p>\nToday’s initial distributions represent approximately 97% of the digital assets in the Earn program. Earn customers can expect to receive their remaining asset balance within the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
This outcome would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the Gemini team. Amidst the broad market turmoil in the summer of 2022, Gemini entered into a security agreement in which Genesis promised to deliver to Gemini over 62 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) to secure all of the loans made by Earn users to Genesis through the Earn program. Even though Genesis failed to deliver more than half of the promised collateral to Gemini, Gemini was able to use the delivered collateral to achieve today’s recovery.<\/p>\n
“It’s important to note that the Genesis bankruptcy was not a\u00a0crypto problem,” said Tyler Winklevoss<\/span>, Co-Founder and CEO of Gemini. “It was old-fashioned financial fraud compounded by a lack of regulatory clarity. To that end, we will continue to fight for clear rules and guidance for our industry that foster both innovation and consumer protection. And we will win this fight. The future is bright.”<\/p>\nAbout Gemini<\/p>\n
