Gemini Wins CFTC Approval to Launch Prediction Markets

Gemini now has a clear regulatory pathway to offer event contracts in the U.S., positioning it to compete with rapidly growing prediction platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket.

Gemini, the crypto exchange co-founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, received a green light from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch prediction markets in the U.S.

Five years in the making, the approval from the CFTC now allows Gemini affiliate Gemini Titan to operate as a Designated Contract Market (DCM), enabling U.S. customers to begin trading event contracts on Gemini’s web interface.

“Prediction markets have the potential to be as big or bigger than traditional capital markets. Acting Chairman Pham understands this vision and its importance,” said Cameron Winklevoss in a statement.
