A U.S. judge rejected a cryptocurrency exchange's appeal to void a $5 million settlement, despite the CFTC asserting the case should not have been filed. The exchange paid the settlement, but court orders and restrictions from 2025 remain in place. This outcome highlights a conflict between regulatory backing and judicial enforcement of settlement terms.
Key points
