Genesis Global Holdco LLC has reached a settlement with U.S. regulators to conclude a lawsuit alleging violations of securities laws via its discontinued Gemini Earn program. As part of the settlement, Genesis, a branch of Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, will pay a $21 million fine to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, this payment is contingent upon the company’s ability to fully reimburse its customers and other creditors under its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The deal, pending approval from a bankruptcy judge, addresses the SEC’s claims that Genesis unlawfully solicited funds from investors through the Gemini Earn program, in collaboration with Gemini Trust Co.
