A major legal battle between Gemini Trust and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has hit a pause. In a recent court decision, Judge Alvin Hellerstein postponed the civil case, pushing back the hearing date from January 13 to January 21, 2025.

According to a court document from December 30, 2024, the final pre-trial conference, which was planned for January 6, 2025, has also been pushed to January 13, 2025.

Closer Look at the Case Between Gemini and CFTC

The legal conflict began in June 2022 when the CFTC accused Gemini Trust of making misleading statements about its Bitcoin futures product. The CFTC is seeking to make Gemini return any gains from the product, in addition to paying civil penalties.

Earlier this year, New York Attorney General Letitia James secured $50 million from Gemini Trust to compensate over 230,000 investors in its Earn Program. As part of the agreement, Gemini also agreed to stop offering crypto lending services in New York.
