In a dramatic strategic retreat, publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange Gemini (GEMI) is shuttering its operations across the European Union, United Kingdom, and Australia while simultaneously cutting a quarter of its global workforce. This dual move, announced Thursday, represents a stark admission of overextension and a costly pivot toward a narrower focus on prediction markets and the core U.S. crypto landscape, as the firm battles a plummeting share price and a pressing need for profitability.
