Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has submitted an SEC filing to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker GEMI. Established in 2014, Gemini offers a regulated crypto exchange, custody services, and blockchain-based products like the Gemini Dollar (GUSD) stablecoin and a crypto-rewards credit card.

Gemini, the US-based crypto exchange, has added XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Bitcoin Cash, and Solana as collateral assets for its GUSD-settled perpetual contracts. These tokens join BTC, ETH, and stablecoins but come with varying collateral haircuts (15% for XRP/SOL, 30% for DOGE/SHIB due to volatility). The update boosts utility for XRP—recovering from its SEC legal battle—and meme coins gaining traction beyond their niche. Despite recent price declines (XRP -1.4%, DOGE -3.2%, SHIB -4%), analysts remain bullish, projecting long-term targets like $1 for DOGE and $9–$10 for XRP if adoption grows. The move signals broader altcoin integration in US crypto derivatives markets.
