They were also classmates of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard. In 2004, they sued Zuckerberg and accused him of stealing their idea (implying the ConnectU project) to create the popular social network — Facebook. As a result, the twins won a $65 million settlement from the lawsuit.

Gemini reports 42% revenue growth after expansion into financial services

Crypto company Gemini reported a 42% year-over-year increase in revenue in Q1 2026 as it continued its growth from a pure crypto exchange to a financial services company.  Total revenue for the Winklevoss twins company grew 42% year over year to $50.3 million in the first quarter, while transaction revenue remained stable at $24 million, the company reported Thursday.  However, its crypto exchange revenue decreased 27% year-over-year to $17.2 million, “reflecting lower spot trading activity and a moderation in crypto market volumes,” while total trading volume declined to $6.3 billion from $13.5 billion in Q1 2025.  The biggest increase was in credit card revenue, which surged nearly 300% to $14.7 million, driven by significant growth in the Gemini Credit Card user base, the company said.  The expansion from crypto into broader financial services began in early 2021, when the company announced consumer finance products such as credit cards. Five years later, services and interest income, driven heavily by credit cards, made up almost half of total revenue, showing how pivotal the expansion has become.  “As Gemini continues to evolve, we expect that the momentum we have built in diversifying our revenue will only accelerate,” said Gemini president Cameron Winklevoss.  Geminis revenue increased, but so did operating

Gemini secures Derivatives Clearing Organisation (DCO) license

Crypto exchange Gemini has secured a Derivatives Clearing Organisation (DCO) license through its affiliate, Gemini Olympus, marking a major step in the companys push into regulated crypto derivatives and prediction markets in the United States.  The approval was granted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, giving Gemini the authority to operate its own clearing infrastructure for derivatives products.  The approval allows the company to clear and settle trades internally instead of relying on external clearing firms.  It also expands Geminis regulatory footprint as competition intensifies among crypto exchanges seeking to establish regulated derivatives businesses in the US market.  The company had previously secured a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license, which permits the listing and trading of derivatives products.  With the addition of DCO status, Gemini can now handle clearing operations tied to those contracts.  Gemini expands regulated derivatives infrastructure  By operating its own clearinghouse, Gemini gains more direct control over how derivatives trades are processed and secured.  According to regulatory filings tied to the approval, Gemini Olympus plans to support fully collateralised derivatives products, including futures, options, perpetual contracts, and event-based markets.  The structure is also expected to support prediction market offerings connected to financial, economic, political, and sports-related outcomes.  Gemini Titan, another affiliate linked to the companys derivatives infrastructure,
