The failure of Gemini Earn, the exchange’s lending program, led to charges of fraud, which <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/gemini-distributes-2-18-billion-in-digital-assets-to-earn-program-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gemini</a> agreed to settle for $50 million. This follows strict regulations imposed in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinbase-relists-xrp-for-new-york-residents-after-nine-month-hiatus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">New York</a> on lending initiatives associated with cryptocurrency. The authorities claim that the settlement would recompense the victims of fraud and clear crypto companies of any wrongdoing.
After Attorney General <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/about/meet-letitia-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Letitia James</a> of New York sued the corporation, claiming that it deceived more than 230,000 people who participated in the Gemini Earn Program, the business has agreed to settle the case.

In October, the exchange was accused of failing to disclose the risk associated with Gemini Earn in the case. Despite the program’s questionable financials, the firm portrayed it as a low-risk investment. James said in a press release that the program betrayed the faith of at least 29,000 New York citizens. Furthermore, she went on to say that the settlement would reestablish investors’ faith and act as a cautionary tale to cryptocurrency enterprises.
Moreover, investors may access their cryptocurrency holdings on their accounts without having to do anything else, according to the press release. Along with the settlement costs, Gemini is now indirectly and directly prohibited from running crypto lending schemes in New York.
In the future, however, the business plans to approach the OAG to request a waiver from this rule if New York passes laws allowing crypto lending programs.
