Crypto World News reports that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said that a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini should not be brought. The CFTC hopes to withdraw its enforcement action against Gemini, arguing that under current standards the case may not be filed. In a court filing submitted on Wednesday, the CFTC and Gemini jointly asked a federal court to vacate the January 2025 settlement agreement proposed by Gemini related to its bitcoin futures contract. The CFTC noted that the original case relied heavily on testimony from a whistleblower whose credibility is in question, and it believes that continuing to uphold the remaining terms of the settlement agreement would not be in the public interest. Gemini has consistently denied the allegations in the legal battle, insisting that there is no evidence of Bitcoin price manipulation or investor harm.

Compliance costs are passed on to users, and in the end, regulators withdraw their lawsuit themselves, 666

Accusations of Bitcoin futures manipulation, in the end, couldn't even stand up the evidence chain—laughable.

Gemini has weathered the storm, but who pays for the time costs and legal fees?

So, the January settlement was a waste of effort? Using legal documents as scrap paper?

This plot twist is even faster than a DeFi protocol.

Gemini was stubborn and really bet on the fact that denying everything was an effective strategy.

Why did the CFTC talk about public interest now, what were they doing earlier?

Regulatory arbitrage is understood now; standards change whenever they say so. How does the market anticipate this?

The credibility of the whistleblower has collapsed; this case has been a farce from the very beginning.

CFTC's recent backpedal is pretty harsh; they were so aggressive at first but now dropping the case—how much public trust is left?
