New York court judge Alvin Hellerstein decided to postpone the civil trial between the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Gemini Trust Company to January 21, 2024, from the originally scheduled trial date of January 13. The case stems from the CFTC's allegations against Gemini in 2022, accusing it of providing false or misleading statements to the CFTC when it applied for Bitcoin futures contracts in 2017. The postponed trial date will coincide with the new president taking office, which may affect the CFTC's stance towards Gemini and other crypto companies. The court stated that further postponements will not be approved unless there are special circumstances.
