Gemini selects Goldmans, Citi and other major banks for IPO leadership

by August 17, 2025

In the boldest signal yet of its ambition to conquer the public markets, crypto exchange Gemini has enlisted a roster of Wall Street’s most powerful institutions to lead its initial public offering.

The move marks a pivotal moment for the firm, co-founded by the famed Winklevoss twins, as it prepares to transition from a private crypto pioneer to a publicly traded powerhouse.

In a press release on Friday, Gemini announced it had hired a veritable who’s who of high finance, with Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Cantor acting as the lead bookrunners on the landmark deal.

The show of force is supported by an extensive syndicate of other firms, including Evercore ISI, Mizuho, and Truist Securities, underscoring the seriousness of its public offering push.

Lifting the veil: a look inside the numbers

The announcement coincided with an updated S-1 registration statement, which follows a confidential filing submitted back in June.

This public document peels back the curtain on the financial performance of “Gemini Space Station,” the formal name of the company. The filing reveals a picture of explosive growth tempered by the harsh realities of the crypto market.

Gemini’s total revenue surged to $142.2 million in 2024, a significant jump from $98.1 million the previous year. However, the first six months of 2025 saw a slight contraction, with revenue dipping to $68.6 million from $74.3 million in the same period of 2024.

More starkly, the company’s bottom line shows the high cost of its expansion. While its net loss narrowed in 2024 to $158.6 million from $319.7 million in 2023, the first half of 2025 saw that figure balloon to a net loss of $282.5 million.

The crypto gauntlet: navigating a high-risk world

As with any crypto-native firm, Gemini’s filing does not shy away from the unique and volatile risks inherent to the industry.

The document points to the fundamental challenges and uncertainties that define the digital asset landscape, from regulatory headwinds to the very nature of the technology itself.

“Key factors influencing the further development of blockchain networks and digital assets include the global adoption of digital assets and blockchain technology; regulatory and quasi-government restrictions on access to and operation of blockchain networks; and the maintenance of open source protocols that support blockchain networks,” the filing stated.

Joining the IPO parade

Gemini’s move is not happening in a vacuum. It is the latest in a stampede of major crypto companies racing to go public this year, seeking the validation and capital that a public listing provides.

It follows in the footsteps of Circle (CRCL), eToro (ETOR), and CoinDesk’s parent company, Bullish (BLSH), with BitGo also having filed its own paperwork.

This push to the public markets represents a new chapter of maturity and mainstream acceptance for the crypto industry.

For Gemini, that chapter will unfold on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, where it plans to list its Class A common stock under a fittingly celestial ticker symbol: GEMI.
