Business Summary

Gemini Space Station, Inc. (Gemini) operates as a trusted cryptocurrency platform, aiming to build a bridge to the future of money and markets by providing secure financial infrastructure for individuals and institutions across more than 60 countries . The company was founded in 2014 with a mission to be the most trusted, secure, and easy way to buy, sell, and store crypto assets . Gemini's business model is centered on generating revenue primarily from transaction fees on trading volume across its retail and institutional platforms, as well as fees from services and interest income associated with custody, staking, its credit card program, and other services . The company emphasizes a commitment to high standards of security, regulation, and compliance, operating exchanges through regulated entities in the United States and abroad, and offering digital asset custody services through Gemini Trust, a New York limited purpose trust company . All customer assets are held in full on the platform, ensuring every unit of cryptocurrency or fiat held by a user is available .

Gemini's platform offers a comprehensive suite of products and services, including spot and derivatives trading, staking, an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk, institutional-grade custody, a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS)-regulated stablecoin (GUSD), a U.S. credit card, and a prediction markets platform . The company launched Gemini Predictions™ in December 2025, a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-regulated prediction markets platform, enabling users to trade event contracts on various outcomes . Previously, Gemini operated Nifty Gateway, a digital art and NFT marketplace, which was discontinued in January 2026 to focus on core exchange and prediction markets businesses .

The company's core product offerings include "Trade & Invest," which encompasses an intuitive trading experience, Gemini ActiveTrader® for advanced charting and order types, and Gemini Derivatives for trading perpetual contracts with cross-collateralization . "Custody" solutions utilize offline cold storage, geographically distributed Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and multi-party computation (MPC) technology, with Gemini Trust acting as a fiduciary and qualified custodian . The "Earn" category allows users to earn crypto rewards through the Gemini Credit Card® on everyday purchases, staking supported digital assets, and rewards on eligible platform balances .

Key financial metrics for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, are not explicitly detailed in the provided text for total revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income, basic and diluted EPS, free cash flow, cash and equivalents, total debt, and net debt.

Year-over-year comparisons are limited due to the absence of comprehensive financial figures.

The company also experienced a new monthly high of more than 30,000 new credit card sign-ups in August 2025, which was more than twice the number of credit card sign-ups in the prior month , partly due to the launch of a co-branded credit card with Ripple.

Significant operational developments during the period include the launch of Gemini Predictions™ in December 2025 , marking an expansion into event contracts. In January 2026, Nifty Gateway was discontinued . In February 2026, Gemini announced plans to exit and wind down operations in certain international markets, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia, to focus resources on U.S. operations . This plan also involved a reduction in workforce of up to approximately 200 global employees . The company also received regulatory approval in January 2026 to offer staking services in New York, launching in February .

Structural headwinds and execution risks management explicitly flagged include the inherent volatility associated with the digital asset industry, which can significantly fluctuate operating results due to digital asset prices, regulatory scrutiny, or changes in applicable laws .

Geopolitical developments, such as trade wars and foreign exchange limitations, can also increase unpredictability and volatility in global financial and digital asset markets .

Management explicitly states that in February 2026, the company announced plans to exit and wind down operations in certain international markets, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia, to focus more resources on U.S. operations . This strategic shift is part of a broader initiative to reduce operating expenses and support the company's path to profitability, which also involved a reduction in workforce of up to approximately 200 global employees .
