Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Developing and scaling an in-house prediction markets infrastructure following the December 2025 launch of Gemini Predictions [3.1.3].
Expected impact: Diversifies revenue away from pure spot crypto trading and leverages the CFTC DCM and DCO licenses.
Implementing a major restructuring plan, including a 30-35% headcount reduction and exiting non-core international markets (U.K., EU, and Australia).
Expected impact: Aims to narrow the operating loss and establish a clear path to profitability by tightening the cost base.
Rebranding the user interface into an all-in-one financial 'super app' integrating trading, spending (via credit card), earning (via staking), and prediction markets.
Expected impact: Drives customer lifetime value and lowers customer acquisition costs by using the credit card as an onboarding wedge.
