Genesis says the Winklevoss-founded crypto exchange benefited at the expense of Genesis’ creditors when it withdrew the money at the beginning of the crypto winter.
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/genesis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Genesis Global Capital</a>, a crypto brokerage firm owned by Digital Currency Group (DCG), is seeking $689 million from Gemini, saying the Winklevoss-founded crypto exchange benefited at the expense of Genesis’ creditors.
In a Nov. 21 <a href="https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/genesis/Home-DocketInfo?DocAttribute=4768&amp;DocAttrName=GENESISGLOBALCAPITAL%2CLLCV.GEMINITRUSTCOMPANY%2CLLCETAL_Q&amp;MenuID=10577&amp;AttributeName=GGC%20v.%20Gemini%20Trust" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">lawsuit</a> filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, lawyers representing Genesis claim that Gemini withdrew nearly $690 million from its client “at the nadir of the significant cryptocurrency market turmoil,” which started in the spring of 2022.
In an effort “to correct this unfairness,” Genesis is now seeking to recover the money from Gemini as the crypto exchange continues to benefit from that withdrawal “to this day” through retention of the assets, lawyers for the New York-based broker added.

Genesis and Gemini remain locked in a legal battle following FTX’s implosion. Several marquee crypto entities fell into insolvency soon after the now defunct exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried collapsed last year, triggering several contagion events that impacted billions of dollars in users funds and financial institutions alike.
Genesis Global&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/dcg-and-genesis-reach-landmark-settlement-over-bankruptcy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filed</a> for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier in 2023, joining a string of crypto enterprises that have faced insolvency after FTX’s collapse. In late Oct. 2023, Gemini filed a lawsuit against Genesis, seeking ownership over some 60 million GTBC shares offered as collateral by Genesis Global.
