“# Winklevoss brothers reportedly eye public listing for Gemini crypto exchange <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Renewed interest in the cryptocurrency market in recent months is seeing more United States-based cryptocurrency businesses consider going public. <\/p>\n

According<\/a> to Bloomberg, Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are mulling a public listing for the exchange, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are watching the market and we are also having internal discussions on whether it makes sense for us at this point in time. We are certainly open to it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Winklevoss twins will have multiple means to take Gemini public including an initial public offering or by merging with a blank-check firm.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Bitcoin futures exchange Bakkt, recently utilized the latter route by merging with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings \u2014 a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. <\/p>\n

Fellow U.S. crypto exchange platform Coinbase is also reportedly moving towards a public listing via an IPO. The company has already filed a draft registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is also in talks with Goldman Sachs.<\/p>\n

Gemini recently revealed<\/a> that it had crossed the $10 billion mark in assets under custody. Back in April 2020, the exchange scored a Service Organization Control, or SOC 1, certification from “Big Four” accounting firm Deloitte.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gemini is set to launch a credit card service with a 3% Bitcoin rebate feature. The company also acquired crypto payments startup Blockrize which already has a waitlist of 10,000 people for the Gemini credit card.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, the Winklevii are the richest Bitcoin billionaires with a combined worth of about $2.8 billion in BTC according to Forbes. They famously invested $11 million into Bitcoin back in 2013.<\/p>\n
