payouts effectively slashed to about 30% of what they’re worth at current market rates.
In an X post, Gemini Trust revealed it sent creditors an email on Dec. 13 outlining the proposed plan, which has now been put up for a vote.
Under the proposed plan, creditors will receive a payout equal to their Earn crypto balances as of Jan. 19, 2023 — the date that Gemini’s cryptocurrency lending partner Genesis Global Capital filed for bankruptcy.
Some observers, including Bloomberg exchange-traded fund analyst James Seyffart, described the plan as “brutal” given the price of Bitcoin and Ether

was only $20,940 and $1,545 then, compared to how much they’re worth today — $42,750 for Bitcoin and $2,250 for Ether.
This would mean that in the worst-case scenario where creditors are given a 61% recovery, each Bitcoin that a creditor had on Earn would only be given $12,773, or 30% of what a Bitcoin is worth today.
Commenters of Gemini’s X post appeared in fierce opposition to the plan, with many of them urging creditors to “VOTE NO.”
