What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected a joint request by Gemini and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to overturn a $5 million settlement reached in January 2025. The judge ruled that allegations of misconduct by the regulator and changes in enforcement priorities were insufficient grounds to overturn the agreement. The ruling leaves intact a permanent injunction preventing Gemini from making false or misleading statements to the CFTC.

The decision maintains the terms of the settlement, which includes a permanent injunction on Gemini. Gemini has already paid the $5 million penalty, which the CFTC stated would not be refunded even if the settlement were overturned.
