• Gemini’s stock has fallen about 80% since its public debut, reducing its market value from roughly $4 billion at its peak to $753 million as trading volume, revenue and platform assets have declined.
• Although there is no indication of an active bid, Gemini’s regulatory licenses, customer base and custody infrastructure could make it an attractive acquisition target for a company seeking a regulated U.S. foothold.
• Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss control 94.5% of Gemini’s voting power, which could streamline negotiations but makes any sale effectively dependent on their approval.
