Once bankrupt crypto lending giant Genesis Global has moved the sum of $1.5 billion as in what appears as funds for creditor repayment. Crypto data analytics platform Arkham Intelligence shared the update noting the funds moved are domiciled in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

The implosion of the FTX Derivatives Exchange in Q4 2022 impacted Genesis Global significantly. Weeks after the FTX bankruptcy, Genesis itself halted withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy. It faced some challenges with Winklevoss’ Gemini over their Earn program for users. For context, Gemini used Genesis to receive yields on the customers “Earn” crypto deposits. 
Genesis decided to loan the funds to Three Arrows Capital, which later ended up bankrupt. The transaction eventually went sour and Genesis had to repay all the customers of the Gemini Earn program.&nbsp;After intense internal turmoil and bankruptcy proceedings, it received the green light to commence asset redemption. 
The $1.5 billion funds movement spotted by Arkham Intelligence includes 16.6K <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-reclaims-64k-as-us-job-data-teases-fed-dovish-stance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> worth approximately $1.1 billion and 166.3K Ethereum valued at $521.1 million.

Noteworthy, a transfer of <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/">Ethereum</a> worth more than $126 million showed up earlier on Friday. The company transferred 27,500 ETH (valued at about $87.09 million) to an address beginning with 0xcbCF, and an additional 12,500 ETH (worth roughly $39.59 million) to another starting with 0x72FE. This also looked like a holding for the liquidation process. 
From all indications, the repayment process may commence as soon as possible.

Mt Gox also commenced repayment of its creditors last month but recently, a creditor complained about not receiving his funds. 
On the <a href="https://coingape.com/mt-gox-bitcoin-creditor-plans-to-file-lawsuit-but-theres-a-catch/">Mt Gox insolvency subreddit</a>, some users detailed their intention to file a lawsuit after discovering that their claims for Bitcoin held on the defunct exchange might become void due to non-response to creditor notifications. 
The poster claimed he is unaware of the ongoing creditor processes. Unfortunately, Mt Gox reportedly said that he has waived his right to recover the funds due to a lack of response.
