In September 2025, Gemini Space Station, the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, priced its IPO at $28 per share, above a range it had already raised, to bring in $425 million. Shares opened around 32% higher on the Nasdaq and rallied further on the day.

The listing followed strong debuts from Circle and Galaxy Digital, underlining renewed investor appetite for crypto-adjacent equities after years of regulatory caution.

From adversary to public company

Gemini's path to the public markets, like several of its peers, ran through years of regulatory friction. Its successful debut suggested that exchanges with a compliance-forward posture could now command mainstream investor demand.
