The SEC and Gemini are seeking a 60-day halt in their lawsuit over Gemini Earn, with no clarity on a possible settlement.
The motion for a stay of the lawsuit was jointly submitted by Gemini Trust and the SEC to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The lawsuit deals with the complaint that Gemini and Genesis Global Capital sold securities without classifying their lending program as a registered offering.
This pause reflects the changing regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency companies under the Biden administration and the SEC's recent dismissals and settlements of high-profile cases.
