The amount includes USD $1.8 billion in loans and USD $1.6 billion that Genesis allegedly withdrew from FTX's trading platform before both companies went bankrupt. It includes USD $273 million in collateral given to Genesis Global and USD $213 million reportedly taken by the crypto lender's subsidiary.

Genesis Global suspended withdrawals last November, citing abnormal customer requests following the collapse of FTX. Additionally, the crypto lending platform, which suffered losses after the collapse of Three Arrows Capital, filed for bankruptcy in January.

Gemini Sues Genesis

Meanwhile, three weeks ago, Finance Magnates reported that Genesis' parent company and its Founder, Barry Silbert, had been sued by Gemini. The cryptocurrency exchange claims that the crypto lender and Silbert perpetrated fraud against investors in a digital asset lending program operated by both companies.

Gemini and Genesis partnered in a lending program that offered investors interest of up to 8%. However, following the insolvency of Genesis, the program suspended customers' withdrawals. Thus, Gemini is accusing Genesis and Silbert of being behind its investors' losses.
