The case between the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Gemini Trust Company was postponed from January 13 to January 21 by Judge Alvin Hellerstein in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. The postponement comes under a new presidency that could affect the CFTC’s stance against Gemini and other crypto firms.

The CFTC accused Gemini of making false statements about its 2017 attempt to offer Bitcoin futures contracts. The lawsuit seeks restitution of ill-gotten gains, fines, and other sanctions.

The CFTC’s influence over crypto policy could increase with new legislation. Trump is reportedly considering replacing CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam. The CFTC has recovered more than $17 billion in its actions against crypto companies in fiscal 2024.
