Gemini Exits UK, EU, and Australia, Cuts Workforce by 25% to Focus on US Market
Gemini is exiting the UK, EU, and Australia, cutting its workforce by approximately 25% as it narrows its focus to the US market. This move comes after multiple layoffs since 2022, with the company citing a lack of demand in foreign markets.
Gemini's strategy emphasizes efficiency through automation, reducing headcount from a peak of about 1,100 in 2022. The company has received regulatory approval to launch a prediction market in the US and is exploring derivatives to enhance revenue. The exit aligns with legal developments, including the SEC's dismissal of a lawsuit related to the Gemini Earn program, allowing the firm to concentrate on fewer products and markets.
