Gemini Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Gemini (NASDAQ: GEMI) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $40.9 million as weaker trading activity outweighed growth in credit card revenue. Revenue fell 19% year-over-year and 10% sequentially. Exchange revenue declined 47% year-over-year to $13.4 million, while platform trading volume was $4.5 billion versus $16.4 billion a year earlier. Services revenue and interest income totaled $23.3 million, representing 59% of net revenue.
Operating expenses fell 30% year-over-year to $119.9 million. Net loss narrowed to $58.6 million, or $0.46 per share, from $159.5 million, or $6.67 per share. Cash and cash equivalents were $194.1 million at September 30, versus $252.2 million at December 31, 2025. Gemini also announced a non-binding letter of intent with Apex Fintech Solutions for prediction-market distribution, subject to negotiation of definitive documentation.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemini Space Station, Inc. (“Gemini,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) (NASDAQ: GEMI), a crypto and markets company, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Total revenue was
Total operating expenses decreased
“Operating expenses declined for a third consecutive quarter, and as we invest in growth, we intend to stay disciplined about where those dollars go,” said Tyler Winklevoss, CEO of Gemini. “We’re clear-eyed about the work ahead and committed to getting it right: deepening our relationships with the customers who use Gemini, continuing to iterate, and investing where customers and markets are headed. We expect to be judged on results, and we intend to earn the confidence of our customers and shareholders one quarter at a time.”
“We started Gemini in 2014 because we believed crypto would change how people save, spend and move value, and we’re in this for the long term,” said Cameron Winklevoss, President of Gemini. “Gemini 2.0 is our bet that the platforms that last will be the ones that own the regulated infrastructure underneath. We’re building ours to serve customers directly and to be something other platforms can build on.”
Third Quarter Results:
- Total revenue decreased
19% year-over-year and10% sequentially to$40.9 million . Net revenue was$39.2 million , compared with$49.8 million in Q3 2025 and$43.7 million in Q2 2026.- Transaction revenue decreased
40% year-over-year and10% sequentially to$15.9 million from$26.3 million in Q3 2025, driven by a significant decline in crypto trading activity.- Exchange revenue decreased
47% year-over-year to$13.4 million , primarily reflecting lower retail trading activity, partially offset by higher institutional revenue. Sequentially, exchange revenue increased7% , while spot trading volume increased18% to$4.5 billion , supported by increased institutional Zcash activity and expanded affiliated market-making. - Total trading volume was
$4.5 billion , compared with$16.4 billion in Q3 2025 and$3.8 billion in Q2 2026. Approximately$1.2 billion , or26% , of quarterly spot volume involved transactions between external customers and our market maker. - OTC revenue increased
60% year-over-year and decreased64% sequentially to$1.7 million , compared with$1.1 million in Q3 2025 and$4.7 million in Q2 2026. The year-over-year increase reflects growth in electronic OTC (eOTC) client activity; the sequential decline is consistent with the variable nature of large institutional trades. - Prediction markets revenue was
$0.8 million , up52% from$0.5 million in Q2 2026. Prediction markets revenue is reported net of maker and taker incentive rebates.
- Exchange revenue decreased
- Services revenue increased
7% year-over-year and decreased10% sequentially to$21.3 million . Services revenue and interest income together totaled$23.3 million , compared to$23.4 million in Q3 2025, and represented59% of net revenue, consistent with the second quarter and up from47% in the prior-year quarter.- Credit card revenue increased
82% year-over-year, driven by growth in the Gemini Credit Card portfolio, and decreased4% sequentially to$15.5 million . - Staking revenue decreased
29% year-over-year to$4.2 million , primarily driven by lower average staked asset balances and lower realized staking yields. Sequentially, staking revenue increased3% reflecting price appreciation in underlying staked assets. - Advisory fee revenue was
$0.6 million , compared with$2.7 million in the second quarter, reflecting completion in July of the recognition period for the compensatory warrant arrangement associated with an advisory services agreement with a strategic customer. - Interest income was
$2.0 million , compared with$3.5 million in Q3 2025 and$2.4 million in Q2 2026, reflecting lower average customer custodial balances, partially offset by margin lending fees from our spot margin trading offering, which had no comparable activity in the prior-year period.
- Credit card revenue increased
- Total operating expenses decreased
30% year-over-year and2% sequentially to$119.9 million , marking the third consecutive quarterly decline. The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by lower sales and marketing expenses and lower salaries and compensation, partially offset by higher transaction losses.- Salaries and compensation decreased
32% year-over-year and increased17% sequentially to$56.4 million , including$32.7 million of stock-based compensation, compared with$20.3 million in the second quarter. The sequential increase in stock-based compensation reflected equity-based annual bonus awards to Company employees recognized in July. Excluding stock-based compensation, salaries and compensation decreased36% year-over-year and15% sequentially to$23.7 million , reflecting the benefits of the February 2026 reduction in force. - Sales and marketing decreased
75% year-over-year and6% sequentially to$8.3 million , reflecting a more selective approach to marketing investments. Within sales and marketing:- Marketing acquisition, brand spend and other costs decreased
97% year-over-year to$0.7 million . - Credit card rewards and promotional and referral incentives decreased
41% year-over-year to$7.6 million , as lower promotional and referral incentives more than offset a21% increase in credit card rewards.
- Marketing acquisition, brand spend and other costs decreased
- Transaction losses increased
38% year-over-year and declined from$20.1 million in the second quarter to$10.6 million , including credit card provision expense of$9.2 million , compared with$2.8 million in Q3 2025 and$16.1 million in Q2 2026. Credit card charge-offs increased to$11.5 million from$3.4 million , primarily reflecting accelerated charge-offs of accounts associated with the previously disclosed first-quarter fraud event. Managed credit card receivables were$202.2 million at quarter-end, compared with$150.6 million a year ago.- Non-fraud 30-plus-day delinquency increased to
3.4% from3.3% in the second quarter. The Company believes this reflects, in part, the seasoning of accounts added during the rapid portfolio growth in the second half of 2025. During that expansion, receivables grew faster than delinquent balances developed, reducing the reported delinquency rate. As those accounts mature and receivables decline, both factors can contribute to a higher delinquency rate.
- Non-fraud 30-plus-day delinquency increased to
- Technology expenses were
$19.6 million , down4% year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower amortization and impairment expenses. Expenses increased from$18.8 million in the second quarter, primarily due to higher cloud computing and infrastructure costs. - General and administrative expenses, including legal expenses were
$19.8 million , up2% year-over-year, as higher legal expenses were largely offset by lower professional services costs. Expenses decreased from$20.6 million in the second quarter. - Transaction processing decreased
39% year-over-year to$5.3 million , primarily driven by lower staking rewards and banking and compliance fees, partially offset by higher processing costs supporting new and expanded products, including Gemini Predictions.
- Salaries and compensation decreased
- Operating loss was
$79.0 million , compared with$120.8 million in Q3 2025 and$76.9 million in Q2 2026. Sequentially, lower revenue and a$12.4 million increase in stock-based compensation more than offset a$14.9 million reduction in all other operating expenses. Adjusted Operating Loss, a non-GAAP measure, narrowed42% year-over-year and21% sequentially to$39.0 million , its fourth consecutive quarter of improvement. - Net loss narrowed
63% year-over-year and46% sequentially to$58.6 million , compared to$159.5 million in Q3 2025. - Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was
$0.46 , compared with$6.67 in the prior-year quarter. - Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of
$11.6 million , compared with losses of$52.4 million in Q3 2025 and$74.0 million in Q2 2026. The sequential improvement reflected lower credit card provision and employee compensation costs, together with a$50.8 million favorable swing in net realized and unrealized results on crypto assets and related-party crypto loans, from a$25.0 million loss in Q2 to a$25.7 million gain in Q3. - Cash and cash equivalents totaled
$194.1 million as of September 30, 2026, compared with$252.2 million as of December 31, 2025. - Monthly Transacting Users were 577,000, down
2% year-over-year and1% sequentially. - Assets on Platform were
$13.4 billion as of September 30, 2026, compared with$21.3 billion as of September 30, 2025 and$8.4 billion as of June 30, 2026. The year-over-year decrease reflects lower crypto asset valuations relative to the prior-year period and select institutional custody net outflows.

Gemini Is Opening Its Regulated Prediction Markets Infrastructure to Distribution and Clearing Partners
- On August 24, 2026, Gemini and Apex Fintech Solutions announced a non-binding letter of intent under which Gemini Titan, LLC would become the exclusive regulated venue for crypto event contracts distributed through Apex's Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) to Apex's brokerage customers. The letter of intent also allows the parties the flexibility to collaborate on additional contract categories, including sports, economics, and financial markets, on a non-exclusive basis. The letter of intent is subject to negotiation of definitive documentation, including with respect to the full scope of the implementation and integration of the intended relationship.
- Expanding distribution is a core part of Gemini’s prediction markets strategy. Gemini intends to make its in-house exchange and clearinghouse available to brokerages, FCMs, and other designated contract markets that want to offer event contracts without building their own infrastructure, and is in active discussions with additional prospective distribution and clearing partners.
Gemini Expands Access to Its Platform for Developers and AI Agents
- More customers now use AI tools to research markets and get context before they invest. Gemini’s goal is to let customers bring the AI agent of their choice to a single Gemini account spanning crypto, stocks, and prediction markets, and to connect to new AI platforms as they emerge.
- In October, Gemini made its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server available on AI platforms, including Anthropic and OpenAI. Customers can use AI agents to pull real-time Gemini market data and research context directly within those tools.
- Gemini rebuilt its developer platform with dedicated documentation for each product line and released a public, dependency-free TypeScript SDK covering its trading products.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our operating results and financial position; anticipated future expenses, including our financial outlook, and investments; expectations regarding our liquidity, capital resources, indebtedness, financing arrangements and ability to obtain additional capital or financing; expectations relating to certain of our key financial and operating metrics; our business strategy and plans, including expectations related to our full-stack end-to-end marketplace and super app strategy; expectations relating to legal and regulatory proceedings; expectations relating to our industry, the regulatory environment, market conditions, trends, and growth; expectations relating to customer behaviors and preferences; our market position; potential market opportunities; and our objectives for future operations. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “target,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations, assumptions, and projections based on information available at the time the statements were made. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among others: our ability to successfully execute our business and growth strategy and generate future profitability; market acceptance of our products and services; our ability to further penetrate our existing customer base and expand our customer base; our ability to develop new products and services and achieve customer adoption of them; our ability to obtain applicable regulatory approvals; the success or anticipated timing of any acquisitions, partnerships, or investments that we enter into; the possibility of adverse developments in pending litigation; the risk that the outcome of currently ongoing and potential future regulatory litigation and/or enforcement actions, as well as potential changes in federal or state law, could immediately or subsequently prevent us from offering, or continuing to offer, sports contracts or event contracts altogether; the effects of increased competition in our markets; our ability to stay in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; stock price fluctuations; market conditions across the cryptoeconomy, including crypto price volatility; and general market, political, and economic conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, inflation, tariffs, instability in the global banking system, economic downturns, and other global events, including regional wars and conflicts and government shutdowns. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results is included, or will be included, in our filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure not presented in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. We use this non-GAAP measure internally to evaluate performance and to make financial, investment and operational decisions. We believe that presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our operating results and that this measure is useful for period-to-period comparisons of results. Management also believes that providing this non-GAAP measure helps investors evaluate the Company’s operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such matters.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, restructuring charges, non-recurring legal contingencies, settlement and related costs, change in fair value on related party convertible notes, change in fair value on related party loans, gain on conversion of convertible notes and term loans, and unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain). Among other non-cash and non-recurring items, Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. In addition, on February 5, 2026, the Company announced its plans to wind down operations in the United Kingdom, European Union, other European jurisdictions, and Australia. As such, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes related restructuring charges, which primarily relate to workforce reductions, lease exit costs, and other actions taken to streamline our operations and that we believe are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence and are not indicative of our ongoing operating activities.
Adjusted Operating Loss
Management believes that Adjusted Operating Loss, which is a measure not presented in accordance with GAAP, may provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our operating performance and operating leverage. We use this non-GAAP measure to evaluate the efficiency of our cost structure, the relationship between revenue growth and operating expenses, and the progress of our ongoing operations. We believe that presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our operating results by removing the effects of certain non-cash items and other adjustments that management believes may obscure our underlying operational performance, and that this measure is useful for period-to-period comparisons of results.
We define Adjusted Operating Loss as operating loss, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment, restructuring charges, and non-recurring legal contingencies, settlement and related costs.
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is provided in this earnings release to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Key Performance Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management uses key performance metrics to help evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Our key performance metrics include MTUs, LTUs, Card Sign-Ups, Trading Volume, and Assets on Platform. Definitions of these key performance metrics can be found below:
- Monthly Transacting User: any retail or institutional user who has engaged in any revenue-generating activity or whose account otherwise generated revenue for the Company in the trailing thirty days. MTUs presented for a quarter represent the MTUs as of the last day of the respective quarter. MTUs presented as of the end of a year represent the MTUs as of the last day of that year.
- Lifetime Transacting User: LTUs represent the cumulative number of unique MTUs who have ever transacted on our platform and continue to maintain an open account, measured since inception.
- Card Sign-Ups: the cumulative number of approved applications for the Gemini Credit Card in the relevant period. Card Sign-Ups include customers who have been approved to open an account, regardless of whether they have subsequently activated or used their card or whether the account later remains open.
- Trading Volume: the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of spot matched trades transacted between a buyer and seller through our platform during the period of measurement, including trades in which our affiliated market maker is a counterparty.
- Assets on Platform: the total value of assets held on our platform and includes digital assets in custody, staking, and exchange products, user custodial fiat, and GUSD reserve assets.
For more information and a more detailed discussion of our Key Performance Metrics, refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that has been filed with the SEC.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Gemini's third-quarter 2026 earnings results?
Gemini reported $40.9 million in revenue and a $58.6 million net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Revenue declined 19% year-over-year, while net loss narrowed 63%. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.46, compared with $6.67 a year earlier.
What would Gemini's prediction markets agreement with Apex cover?
The non-binding letter of intent would make Gemini Titan the exclusive regulated venue for crypto event contracts distributed through Apex's Futures Commission Merchant to its brokerage customers. It also permits non-exclusive collaboration on sports, economics and financial-market contracts. The intended relationship remains subject to negotiation of definitive documentation.
How much of Gemini's third-quarter 2026 spot volume involved its market maker?
Approximately $1.2 billion, or 26%, of quarterly spot volume involved transactions between external customers and Gemini's market maker. Sequential trading-volume growth was supported by increased institutional Zcash activity and expanded affiliated market-making.
What drove Gemini's sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2026?
Lower credit card provision and employee compensation costs, together with a $50.8 million favorable swing in crypto-related results, supported the improvement. Net realized and unrealized results on crypto assets and related-party crypto loans moved from a $25.0 million loss in Q2 to a $25.7 million gain in Q3.
