Gemini’s stock is in freefall, raising fresh alarms about the fate of the crypto exchange founded by twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.
GEMI has sunk roughly 90% from its September 2025 high, and market observer Dom Kwok — co‑founder of blockchain firm EasyA Labs — warned on X (formerly Twitter) that the company could be bankrupt before year‑end. Kwok points to a cluster of stressors he says could push Gemini into a “doom loop”: ongoing class‑action lawsuits, the departure of senior executives, slowing revenue growth, mounting losses, and rapid depletion of IPO cash.
Key pressure points
- Legal: Multiple class actions filed this month allege Gemini misled investors ahead of its September 2025 IPO — overstating the strength of its core exchange, exaggerating international expansion and user growth plans, concealing executive turmoil, and failing to disclose widening losses.
- Leadership churn: Following Gemini’s strategic overhaul, several top executives exited quickly — including the chief operating officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer — stoking doubts about management stability.
- Strategic pivot: In February the company unveiled “Gemini 2.0,” a refocus on prediction markets, withdrawals from the UK, EU and Australia, and a workforce reduction of roughly 25–30%.
- Financial stress: Kwok says Gemini continues to report annual losses in the “hundreds of millions” and is burning through IPO proceeds fast. He warns that once cash reserves run out the firm will likely need highly dilutive financing, which could drive more selling and further depress the share price.
- Slowing growth and user friction: Revenue growth decelerated to about 26% in 2025 from 45% the year before — the wrong direction for a newly public firm, Kwok notes. At the same time, customers have reported account suspensions, withdrawal issues, unpaid referral bonuses and poor customer support.
Taken together, these factors form the risk picture Kwok laid out: depleted cash followed by dilutive capital raises, accelerating capital flight, and a potential bankruptcy pathway if the business cannot stabilize.
Market reaction
GEMI closed the most recent trading session around $4.59 per share, sliding roughly 7% intraday, and no clear catalyst for a turnaround has been disclosed.
What to watch
Investors will be watching legal developments, any disclosure about cash runway or financing plans, executive hires or departures, and whether Gemini’s pivot to prediction markets gains traction. Absent positive news on those fronts, the skeptics’ scenario of further dilution and downward pressure on the stock looks likely to persist.
