The multimillion-dollar Bitcoin transfers come two months after New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office had reached a settlement with Genesis requiring it to pay $2 billion to defrauded investors who participated in its Earn program.
The address labeled Genesis Trading may be preparing to start refunding users. The wallet reportedly currently holds a total of $2.28 billion worth of cryptocurrencies, of which $1.91 billion is Bitcoin and $364 million is Ethereum.
This amount exceeds the $2 billion in digital assets that the platform must pay out to defrauded investors who participated in the Earn program.
On June 14, the New York Attorney General’s Office announced that more than $50 million had been recovered from Gemini and that the amount would be returned to investors in the exchange’s Earn program.
The agreement prohibits Gemini from operating any cryptocurrency lending programs in New York state. “Anyone deceived by Gemini will get their money back,” James said on the X platform. Gemini Trust said affected Earn users will be able to receive 100% of the assets owed to them within seven days.
