According to CoinMeta, a judge in the United States, Alvin Hellerstein, refused on October 15, 2026, to revoke the $5 million settlement agreement reached between Gemini and CFTC. The fines that have been paid and the permanent injunction remain in effect. CFTC sued Gemini in June 2022, and the two parties reached a settlement in January 2025. In May 2026, CFTC and Gemini jointly applied to revoke the settlement, but the judge deemed that the changes in law enforcement priorities were not sufficient to revoke the binding court order.
