Overview
Gemini is retrenching to concentrate on its home market. Across several reports, the exchange says it will wind down services in the U.K., EU, and Australia while reducing headcount, positioning the move as a strategic refocus toward the United States and adjacent products such as prediction markets. Customers in affected regions are being guided through an offboarding process that includes restrictions on new activity and a timeline for withdrawals, with eToro referenced as part of the transition.
