In a significant development in the cryptocurrency landscape, the bankrupt crypto lender Genesis Trading has recently initiated a deposit of $36.45M worth of 34 crypto assets to Gemini, one of the prominent cryptocurrency exchanges.
Among the top five assets deposited are 16.4M GRT ($4.83M), 123K INJ ($2.95M), 396M AMP ($2.93M), 32.3K AAVE ($2.43M), and 5.56M MANA ($2.43M).

The process is likely to be completed by early June, marking a significant step towards resolving the aftermath of Genesis Trading’s bankruptcy declaration.
