According to court documents filed on Wednesday, the exchange wants to get back liquidity which was withdrawn from FTX prior to the collapse (over $1.6 billion) and collateral sent by Alameda Research ($2 billion).

FTX's lawyers noted in the filing Genesis was one of the exchange's main business partners as at one point in 2021, the firm "had over $8 billion of outstanding loans to FTX Debtor Alameda Research."

In January 2023, Genesis filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The lender has over 100,000 creditors, owing them $3.4 billion. Genesis proposed a roadmap for exiting the crisis, which includes a Chapter 11 plan that provides a framework for the global resolution of all claims through the creation of a fiat money fund that will distribute assets among creditors.
