Odaily: Gemini has sold its UK and Europe business to stablecoin payments company KAST for under $10 million. According to people familiar with the matter, Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the holding company founded by the Winklevoss brothers, completed the deal. About a month ago, a KAST job posting referenced the transaction, requiring the new General Manager for Europe to oversee the transfer of Gemini's UK and EU employees' operations. Gemini declined to comment. A KAST spokesperson did not directly address the deal but said the company is actively pursuing M&A opportunities as revenue and business coverage expand. The sale follows Gemini's decision to scale back its international operations and restructure its business to reduce costs and achieve profitability. In February of this year, Gemini announced plans to gradually wind down operations in the UK, EU, and Australia, and cut approximately 25% of its global workforce, while retaining operations in the US and Singapore markets.

Odaily: Gemini has now launched new prediction markets for Zcash and Hyperliquid.

Odaily: Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, posted on X stating that Zcash does not need to redesign its governance mechanism. Stakeholder voting mechanisms have been operating in capital markets for hundreds of years, and token holder voting is merely their on-chain form. He emphasized that experimental governance is not Zcash's mission—privacy is its core goal—and called for terminating Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) and the distractions and divergence of objectives it brings.Previously, the Winklevoss brothers' Winklevoss Asset filed an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the Winklevoss Zcash ETF. The ETF intends to directly hold ZEC, plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker WINK with a fee rate of 0.25%, and Gemini Trust Company will serve as custodian.

Odaily reports: U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein on October 15, 2026, declined to vacate the $5 million settlement agreement between crypto exchange Gemini and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), leaving the paid fine and permanent injunction in effect. Previously, the CFTC had stated that the original lawsuit should never have been brought.The dispute stemmed from Gemini's involvement in proposed Bitcoin futures contracts. The CFTC filed suit in June 2022, alleging that Gemini misled regulators regarding trading safeguards, customer financing, special fee arrangements, and activities that could potentially affect contract pricing; the two parties settled in January 2025, with Gemini neither admitting nor denying the allegations.In May 2026, following an internal review, the CFTC and Gemini jointly sought to vacate the settlement, citing issues with whistleblower credibility, evidence, and enforcement practices. The judge found that the relevant circumstances had existed prior to the settlement and that a change in enforcement priorities was insufficient to vacate a binding court order; the CFTC retains its enforcement discretion.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that on Polymarket, the probability of "Gemini 4.0 will be released before October 9" has fallen to 3%, down 47% in 24 hours.If Google officially releases Gemini 4.0 before the deadline and makes it available to the public, including a public beta or a rolling waitlist open for registration, the market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve to "No".Gemini 4.0 must be explicitly released under that name, or officially recognized as the next-generation model after Gemini 3. Versions such as Gemini 3.0 Flash and Gemini 2.5 do not qualify.Closed testing, private access, and models that are not actually made available to the public do not count. If Google's official website clearly labels a qualifying version and the public can genuinely access it, this will also be considered a formal announcement.Resolution will primarily be based on official information from Google, with reference to the consensus of credible media reports.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the opportunity.
