Judge keeps Gemini’s bitcoin-futures settlement intact despite CFTC reversal bid
|
|
A federal judge rejected Gemini and the CFTC’s joint effort to vacate a 2025 consent order tied to the exchange’s bitcoin futures application. The ruling leaves in place a $5 million penalty and permanent injunction, showing that a friendlier regulatory climate does not automatically unwind older crypto cases.

🚨 Bitcoin’s Strongest Stakeholder Signal Is Climbing Again
🐋 Bitcoin’s key stakeholder wallets keep multiplying. There are now 20,338 wallets holding 10 to 10K BTC, an all-time high after climbing sharply since mid-July despite plenty of BTC price volatility.
📈 This cohort has historically shown a close relationship with Bitcoin’s future price direction. When more large holders enter this range while price chops around, it suggests deep-pocketed investors remain confident rather than fleeing during weakness.
💪 That makes the trend encouraging for BTC bulls. Price can still move lower short term, but persistent growth among Bitcoin’s most influential wallets creates a healthier setup for future upside if accumulation continues.

bitcoin:native sellers capitulated again yesterday.
Every burst of loss selling came right at a local bottom: early August, mid-August and mid-September.
Profit taking has slowed since the September high.
If the pattern holds, yesterday's selling just above $80k would mark the floor.
