The bankrupt crypto lender Genesis has filed a lawsuit against the crypto exchange Gemini, seeking recovery of $689 million in preferential transfers.

According to the lawsuit, Gemini withdrew this amount 90 days prior to Genesis declaring bankruptcy in January. This move purportedly placed other creditors at a disadvantage.

Genesis's legal team is leveraging the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to rectify the perceived unfairness, aiming to equalize the situation for all creditors.

This conflict between the two crypto titans transformed into legal disputes following the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange in November 2022. Earlier, Gemini had initiated legal action against Genesis concerning the utilization of shares from its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust as collateral for loans granted by Genesis through the Gemini Earn program.
