The SEC has dismissed its lawsuit against Gemini Trust over the Gemini Earn program after investors fully recovered their assets. This decision marks the end of a three-year legal battle that began when Gemini Earn was accused of offering unregistered securities. The ruling prevents the SEC from bringing similar claims against Gemini in the future.

Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., allowing it to gauge investor interest without immediate financial scrutiny. This move follows the SEC's conclusion of its investigation into the company and comes amid a trend of crypto firms seeking public listings as regulations become more favorable.
