Gemini Sets Nasdaq IPO as Nasdaq Clarifies It Will Partner, Not Invest

The offering targets up to $317 million at $17 to $19 per share, with trading as GEMI expected pending market conditions.

Overview

  • Initial reports said Nasdaq would buy $50 million of Gemini shares in a private placement, but a Nasdaq spokesperson said the firm is not investing in the IPO.
  • Nasdaq and Gemini instead plan a non-exclusive commercial partnership that will link Nasdaq clients to Gemini custody and staking services.
  • Gemini’s institutional clients are slated to gain access to Nasdaq’s Calypso platform for collateral management across traditional and digital assets.
  • Gemini filed to sell about 16.66–16.67 million Class A shares and aims to begin trading Friday under the ticker GEMI if market conditions permit.
  • SEC filings show a net loss of $282.5 million on $68.6 million in revenue for the first half of 2025, and a successful listing would make Gemini the third publicly traded U.S. crypto exchange after Coinbase and Bullish.
