The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has requested a New York federal court to vacate a January 2025 consent order against Gemini Trust, a cryptocurrency exchange. The original order imposed a $5 million penalty and barred Gemini from making false statements to the agency. This move is unusual, according to a former CFTC chair, especially since the order was issued during the Biden administration and the current CFTC leadership, appointed by Trump, has political ties to Gemini's founders, the Winklevoss twins. Gemini's legal team welcomed the request, calling the original case unwarranted. The development raises questions about regulatory consistency and potential political influence in enforcement actions.
