- Gemini pursues IPO despite 2025 losses.
- Wall Street underwriters show confidence.
Gemini has filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker “GEMI” despite reporting a $282.5 million net loss in the first half of 2025. Key underwriters include Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, signaling Wall Street’s confidence in crypto IPOs.
The Gemini IPO highlights institutional trust and reflects evolving regulations that favor cryptocurrency listings in the U.S.
Gemini, founded by the Winklevoss twins, reports a $282.5 million net loss in 2025 yet proceeds with a Nasdaq listing. This move follows other high-profile crypto IPOs. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss maintain control via Class B shares, keeping influence intact even post-IPO. Despite financial setbacks, Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley back the IPO, underscoring continued confidence in crypto assets.
With 14.6 million verified users and $12 billion in assets under custody, Gemini’s prominent industry role persists. The Trump administration’s regulatory changes have catalyzed such listings, marking a shift in U.S. attitudes toward crypto IPOs. The listing might increase Gemini Dollar (GUSD) and other major crypto market activities following historical precedents seen in prior crypto IPOs. As interest grows, focus remains on future technological advancements and continued expansion of corporate activities.
“We are excited to take this important next step in our growth journey as we pursue a Nasdaq listing.” — Cameron Winklevoss, Co-founder, Gemini
