One unusual twist: the CFTC and Gemini both asked a judge to undo their 2025 settlement. The judge declined.
On Oct. 15, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied their joint motion to vacate the consent order. Gemini has already paid the $5 million civil penalty; the permanent injunction remains.
The court said the arguments relied on facts that predated the settlement and a shift in enforcement policy—neither was enough to reopen the judgment under Rule 60(b). The underlying case concerned allegations of false or misleading statements during CFTC review of a proposed Bitcoin futures contract. Under the consent order, Gemini neither admitted nor denied the complaint’s allegations, but agreed not to publicly deny the findings.
This procedural ruling leaves the 2025 order intact; it is not a new trial or a BTC price signal.

Tokenized assets on Solana are now a $4.37B footprint on the RWA.xyz dashboard.
As of Oct. 16, RWA.xyz lists $4.37B in distributed asset value and 902,273 holders. Over the last 30 days, the dashboard shows holders up 45.66% and transfer volume up 44.06%, while distributed asset value is down 0.56%. So the story isn’t a straight-line boom: activity indicators are rising while reported value is roughly flat.
These are network-level RWA metrics, not SOL’s market cap or a direct price signal. Which metric says more about real adoption—asset value, holders, or transfers?
