Gemini (GEMINI) Signs Agreement with CFTC to Vacate $5 Million Fine

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has requested a judge to vacate a $5 million penalty against the Gemini Trust Company, founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. In January 2025, Gemini settled charges with the CFTC, but both the CFTC and Gemini now claim the settlement should be rescinded due to a change in enforcement policy. Gemini alleges it was a victim of fraud, while the CFTC had accused it of misleading statements regarding its bitcoin futures business. Approval for Gemini's prediction market product, called Gemini Titan, was granted in December 2025.
