  • Potential Buyers Eye Gemini's European and UK Crypto Operations Amid Workforce Cuts
    April 9, 2026, 3:16 PM EDT. Gemini, the crypto exchange backed by the Winklevoss twins, faces potential partial acquisition as buyers assess its shuttered European and UK operations. The New York-based firm recently cut 25% of its global workforce and closed non-U.S. and non-Singapore businesses. Interested parties aim to secure regulatory licenses in Europe and the UK, regions where approvals can take years. Under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority rules, these licenses require regulatory approval during ownership changes. Gemini, Nasdaq-listed since September 2025, offers a full-service crypto platform beyond trading, including custody and payments. Its share price has fallen from an IPO high of above $37 to around $4, reflecting market volatility.
