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 lawsuit, filed by the CFTC in June 2022, accuses Gemini of providing misleading information regarding its 2017 attempt to launch Bitcoin futures.
The regulator is seeking disgorgement of profits, financial penalties, and further restrictions against future violations.
