The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has sued Gemini, the crypto exchange owned by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
In a statement Thursday, the CFTC said it sued Gemini for “making false or misleading statements of material facts or omitting to state material facts to the CFTC in connection with the self-certification of a bitcoin futures product.”
Agentūra pasakė:
„Remiantis skundu, Dvyniai tiesiogiai ir per DCM pateikė informaciją CFTC apie Gemini prekybos platformą ir Gemini Bitcoin aukcioną, o tam tikri Gemini teiginiai ir informacija, kuriuos perdavė arba praleido, buvo melagingi arba klaidinantys, be kita ko, , faktai, svarbūs norint suprasti, ar siūloma Bitcoin ateities sutartis būtų lengvai manipuliuojama. Kaip teigiama skunde, Dvynių darbuotojai žinojo arba pagrįstai turėjo žinoti, kad tokie teiginiai yra melagingi arba klaidinantys.
Cboe’s cash-settled bitcoin futures utilized price data from Gemini’s exchange when they launched in December 2017, as the firms announced at the time. The complaint does not name Cboe.
When reached for comment, a Gemini spokesperson told The Block: “Gemini has been a pioneer and proponent of thoughtful regulation since day one. We have an eight year track-record of asking for permission, not forgiveness, and always doing the right thing. We look forward to definitively proving this in court.”
A copy of the complaint was not immediately available at press time. The CFTC and Cboe did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
This news is developing and will be updated with more information.
Updated with CFTC statement and court complaint. Updated with comment from Gemini.
