The SEC was satisfied with Gemini’s agreement to contribute $40 million toward the full recovery of Gemini Earn investors’ assets lost as a result of the Genesis bankruptcy.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s civil lawsuit against Gemini Trust Company and Genesis Global Capital in the Earn-related unregistered securities case has been dismissed with prejudice.
Court filings show the parties submitted a joint stipulation to dismiss the action on Friday in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York, effectively ending the SEC’s claim over Gemini’s crypto lending program with Genesis.
The SEC was content with the dismissal based on a 100% in-kind return of Gemini investors’ crypto assets through the Genesis bankruptcy case in mid-2024 and Gemini agreeing to contribute up to $40 million to help fund the return of all crypto assets to Gemini Earn investors.

Gemini’s case adds to a growing list of crypto cases that US government agencies have dropped since the Trump administration took over in January 2025, which has promised to deregulate the sector.
