A New York judge has moved the CFTC vs. Gemini trial from January 13 to January 21, 2025, stating that no additional delays will be allowed.
This shift puts the proceedings after the January 20 inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump—an event that could potentially influence how the CFTC approaches crypto-related cases.

The regulator is seeking disgorgement of profits, financial penalties, and further restrictions against future violations.
