Gemini Exchange News Today: Winklevoss Twins Lose 3 Top Execs as GEMI Stock Crashes 80%

The post Gemini Exchange News Today: Winklevoss Twins Lose 3 Top Execs as GEMI Stock Crashes 80% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss spent over a decade building Gemini into one of crypto’s most recognized exchanges. That reputation is now unraveling at speed.

According to Bloomberg, Gemini is cutting well beyond its announced 25% workforce reduction, letting go of additional US staff in recent days. The company has exited the UK, EU, and Australia entirely. GEMI stock, which peaked at $45.89 after its September 2025 IPO, now trades near $5.82, with market cap cratering from nearly $4 billion to under $700 million.

Three C-Suite Execs Leave Gemini

On February 17, Gemini parted ways with COO Marshall Beard, CFO Dan Chen, and CLO Tyler Meade, all in a single day. The executive who led Gemini’s prediction markets platform also departed the same month the product launched.

Cameron Winklevoss is now absorbing the COO role. No replacement is planned.

“Their strategy needs to change,” analyst Matthew Coad added.

Expenses rose roughly 70% last year while net revenue grew just 17%. Gemini handled only 0.1% of global spot crypto trading in January, down from 0.6% in June, according to Cantor Fitzgerald.

Winklevoss Twins Pivot to Prediction Markets

Facing evaporating revenue, the twins are betting on a new direction. Gemini launched its CFTC-licensed prediction markets platform in December, processing over $24 million in volume from more than 10,000 users.

“Our thesis is that prediction markets will be as big or bigger than today’s capital markets,” the brothers wrote in a recent post.

But the space is crowded. Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Robinhood are all pushing into the same market.

What’s Next for GEMI Stock?

Gemini’s $425 million IPO haul provides a financial cushion. But with projected expenses of up to $530 million against net revenue of up to $175 million, the burn rate is steep.

Gemini’s next earnings report, expected March 30, could decide whether the market treats this as a turnaround or a warning sign.
