Overview
A U.S. judge rejected efforts by Gemini and the CFTC to undo a $5 million settlement reached in January 2025. The ruling found that changes in CFTC enforcement priorities and allegations involving its enforcement division were insufficient to reopen the agreement. The settlement payment and related restrictions therefore remain in place.

Why it matters
