Earlier in July, the judge delayed the date to decide whether to dismiss the case or to continue with the trial proceedings. After iFinex filed a motion for the dismissal of the case, Judge Joel M. Cohen stated that he will be extending the injunction until Aug. 22.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110497\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110497\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitfinex-fights-back-against-nyag-says-it-never-served-new-york-customers\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110497\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitfinex-new-york-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Bitfinex fights back against NYAG, says it never served New York customers\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitfinex-new-york-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitfinex-new-york-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitfinex-new-york-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitfinex-new-york-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110497\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitfinex-fights-back-against-nyag-says-it-never-served-new-york-customers\/\">Bitfinex fights back against NYAG, says it never served New York customers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While a potentially unlawful loan Bitfinex took from its sister company Tether might not seem like a major milestone for the crypto industry, the court's decision has the potential to sway the crypto market. Namely, if the judge decides to dismiss iFinex's motion, the decision will ultimately go in favor of the New York Attorney General.<\/p>\n<p>This won't be the end of the case, but it will give NYAG better odds of proving that Bitfinex mixed corporate funds to cover losses and served customers in New York despite an explicit ban. However, if the judge decides to accept the motion, it will allow both Bitfinex and Tether to continue their operations and recover some of the losses they suffered during the proceedings.<\/p>\n<h2>Sept. 23: Bakkt will officially launch<\/h2>\n<p>After several months of anticipation, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bakkt\/\">Bakkt<\/a> has finally <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bakkt-approval-cftc-bitcoin-futures-launching\/\">received<\/a> all the regulatory approval necessary to launch its Bitcoin futures platform.

With less speculation taking place, many analysts predicted Bakkt will allow more institutional money to flow into the crypto market.<\/p>\n<h2>Oct. 13: SEC makes the final decision on Bitwise Bitcoin ETFs<\/h2>\n<p>The first few weeks of October will most likely see the race for Bitcoin ETFs reach its end.

That means that on Oct. 28, Kobayashi will have to submit a plan detailing the timing and method of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/mt-gox-ordered-to-repay-victims-of-850000-bitcoin-hack\/\">repaying<\/a> roughly 24,000 creditors who were affected by the 2011 hack and the exchange's subsequent collapse.<\/p>\n<p>That means that creditors could start receiving repayments by the end of the year. While it's hard to say how long it would take to repay all of those affected, the act itself could bring a lot of positive sentiment into the market.
