Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., allowing it to gauge investor interest without immediate financial scrutiny. This move follows the SEC's conclusion of its investigation into the company and comes amid a trend of crypto firms seeking public listings as regulations become more favorable.
Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, successfully priced its IPO at $28 per share, raising $425 million and achieving a valuation of over $3 billion. The offering saw significant investor interest, with bids exceeding the available shares by more than 20 times, and will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker GEMI. The favorable market conditions and regulatory environment have bolstered the demand for crypto firms in public markets.
