The settlement announcement outlines that Earn users will receive their digital assets back on a one-to-one basis, accounting for any appreciation since the assets were originally lent. This move not only reinstates the original value of the assets lent into the Earn program but adds an additional $700 million in value compared to their worth at the time withdrawals were halted in November 2022.

The agreement foresees a 97% return of assets to users within approximately two months following court approval, with the remaining balance to be settled within a year. Gemini disclosed that it has been actively involved in negotiations over the past 15 months to secure the return of user assets, contributing $40 million towards the recovery effort.

The settlement was also facilitated with the assistance of the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). The coin-for-coin recovery approach was further highlighted by Bloomberg exchange-traded fund (ETF) analyst James Seyffart.

“WOW. Holy cow Gemini is saying that Earn customers stuck in the Genesis bankruptcy are likely to get ‘100% of their digital assets back in kind’ under the current potential settlement,” Seyffart wrote on X. “I repeat… IN-KIND. That’s absolutely massive. $20k BTC vs $61k BTC … $1.5k ETH vs $3.3k ETH,” the analyst added.

The backstory of Gemini’s legal and financial complications with Genesis Global Capital (GGC) highlights the challenges faced by the Earn program, leading to Genesis’s bankruptcy in January 2023. Genesis served as the backend service provider for the program, which aimed to offer interest on crypto asset investments. The partnership’s collapse prompted Gemini and GGC to navigate regulatory scrutiny and financial hurdles to ensure the recovery of assets for Earn customers, ultimately culminating in the proposed settlement.
