Gemini Seeks CFTC Derivatives License to Enter Prediction Market and Expand Futures Trading

COINOTAG News reports that Gemini is steering toward the prediction market space, following the lead of Coinbase and other crypto platforms. Citing industry sources, the move represents a strategic extension of Gemini’s product portfolio to meet demand for on-chain event outcomes and hedging instruments. The plan emphasizes leveraging a regulated framework to deliver diversified outcomes-based products, aligning with institutional appetite for structured crypto markets.

Industry sources indicate that Gemini has submitted an application to the CFTC for a derivatives trading platform operating license, a step executives previously discussed as a path to broaden futures contract trading activity.
