Overview

Gemini is retrenching to its home market. Multiple outlets report the exchange will wind down operations in the U.K., EU, and Australia while cutting roughly a quarter of its workforce, positioning the move as a refocus on the U.S. and prediction markets. Customers in affected regions are being offboarded with instructions tied to withdrawals and a transition path involving eToro.
