The American Securities and Exchange commission (SEC) and the Gemini Trust Company filed an update of status before the courts, making a federal court known that they had reached a “resolution in principle” to resolve a matter of securities resulting from a complaint in 2023.
In a Monday file before the American district court in the South District of New York (SDNY), the SEC and Gemini Trust declared that “subject to examination and approval” by the Commission, the two parties asked that all disputes in the civil case have remained indefinitely.
The deposit indicated that the two parties would submit another state report if the case was not resolved by December 15.
The case in securities against Gemini Trust and Genesis Global Capital began with a complaint filed by the SEC in January 2023. The Commission alleged that Genesis and Gemini “engaged in an offer and a sale of titles in the United States” between February 2021 and November 2022.
The agreement in principle probably marked one of the last stages of the liquidation of the case against the two companies after the SEC and Genesis announced a regulation of $ 21 million in 2024.
The agency, then under the acting president of the Sec, Mark Uyeda, told Gemini in February that she would not recommend continuing an action in application as part of a separate investigation against the company.

The case of securities allegedly alleged that investors had sent assets from Genesis through the Gemini Geal program while the company would pay interest. The SEC said that the two companies have collected “billions of dollars in cryptographic assets, mainly American retail investors”, without registering with the regulator.
“(I) The Novestor lacked important information on the Gemini Earn program which would have been relevant for their investment decisions,” alleged the complaint of January 2023. “Instead of providing investors with a full information required by federal securities laws, the defendants have rather made only selective and inadequate disclosure.”
Trump and Gemini: Partners in Crypto Policy?
The co-founders of Gemini Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were financial and personal supporters of US President Donald Trump in his campaign in 2024 and continued to maintain close ties with the White House this year.
The twins were present at the signing of the draft law on the stablecoin of genius and would have pressed that Trump reconsiders the appointment of Brian Quintenz as president of the Commodity Futures Trading American Commission.
The White House asked a senatorial committee to delay an audience on the appointment of Quintenz before it broke for a recess in August and, Monday, no other hearing had been planned.
Last week, Quintenz published text screenshots between him and the Winklevosses from July which suggested that they were looking for certain insurance measures if his appointment should go ahead.
Gemini also started its first public offer on Friday, would have collected $ 425 million with $ 15.2 million.
