New York Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein decided to postpone the trial of the civil case between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Gemini Trust Company to January 21, 2024, with the original trial date set for January 13. This case stems from the CFTC's allegations against Gemini in 2022, accusing it of providing false or misleading statements to the CFTC when applying for Bitcoin futures contracts in 2017. The postponed trial date will coincide with the new president's inauguration, which may influence the CFTC's stance on Gemini and other cryptocurrency companies. The court stated that further delays will not be approved unless under special circumstances.
