The US President Donald Trump administration has adopted a more favourable stance toward the crypto industry, reversing earlier enforcement trends and encouraging IPO filings
Gemini settled a $5 million lawsuit with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, clearing a regulatory hurdle ahead of its IPO
The US Securities and Exchange Commission sued Gemini in 2023 for allegedly offering unregistered securities through its Gemini Earn program, which was linked to a failed partnership with Digital Currency Group (DCG), resulting in a series of lawsuits and enforcement actions
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of Gemini, each donated $1 million in Bitcoin to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, underscoring their support for the administration’s pro-crypto policies and extending their political footprint in Washington, D.C.
Gemini’s IPO announcement included standard regulatory disclaimers under Rule 135 of the Securities Act, emphasising that the statement does not constitute an offer to sell or buy securities and that any sale will be made in accordance with legal requirements
Gemini and the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a joint motion in April 2025, seeking a "potential resolution" to the lawsuit concerning the Gemini Earn program
